     Karl,
     It wasn't me, and I didn't get a notification about it.
     We've seen on the list that anyone can send a forged email to
     unsubscribe, but then a confirmation is required to actually
     unsubscribe.
     Your email, [2]gmkarl@gmail.com, is still subscribed to the
     cypherpunks list. I just checked.

   I had to go through the subscription process to do this for both
   [3]gmkarl@gmail.com and [4]0xloem@gmail.com . I was getting bounces,
   earlier, in response to emails from both email addresses.

     The unsub shenanigans are childish and annoying. I taught my
     students how to forge an email message in 1998, and of course forged
     emails are a big part of how spam gets around these days. I'm not
     impressed by people who are forging unsub emails to the list
     management software.

     When an address is unsubscribed, they get a goodbye email from the
     list software. Did that happen?

   I'm not seeing this.
   However, when I looked just now, my client misbehaved, mutating folders
   on its own. It's been doing that rarely for years, though. It is
   possible that somebody used access to my email account to unsubscribe
   me, and then covered their tracks. But it's concerning that this
   happens at the same time that others are getting unsubscription
   notices.
