This was interesting.  One of the features of smartlist is that it's supposed 
to handle subscribe/unsubscribe messages correctly even when it is sent to 
the wrong address.  I am still puzzled as to how your message got through
to the list.

No, not really.  This is a discussion list.  Some conversations may go on in 
public even if only 2 or 3 people are participating.

send the same type of message you sent earlier to 
plug-request@lists.nothinbut.net

We used to have a separate plug-announce list, but I thought that we decided
not to have it anymore.  It's not a problem to reinstate it if there is
interest.
