I think it is more a physchological thing, some people feel more comfortable
"suspending" their membership rather than quiting and re-joining; you get
this with clubs all the time, length of membership counts for status and
somebody who has been a member since 1990 looks better than I originally
joined in 1990, quit in 1999, rejoined in 2002... They have "continuous"
membership for over 15 years, instead of broken membership of around 12
years.
As I say, I think it is purely psychological, they still feel part of the
community, even when they suspend their lists while on holiday, whilst
quiting the list, is well, quiting... It doesn't matter whether the list
actually deletes and the re-inserts your membership in the list, the user
himself "feels" he has only paused the receiving of mails.
(Man, I've been living in Germany too long, had to get my dictionary out look
up what "es ist Egal" means in English! :-P)
