I noted when I resubscribed that the list will automatically unsubscribe
you after it gets 25 bounces to your address. I wonder if maybe the local
network of the techdiver server went down on Thursday resulting in messages
to everyone bouncing and hence the automatic deletion of everyone!

If this is the reason, maybe we should ask the list maintainer to either
increase the limit or recognise the condition when all mail is bouncing.

Hopefully everyone will make their way back here shortly!

David.
