And I looked into the mailman log file {.../data/logs/subscribe}
and it also showed several unsubscriptions of Lance and the one
by you..

I have now done the same (logged in as administrator)
and when I unsubscribed him it worked {{the last line in the
above excerpt}}.

This seems like a  bug/problem with the  web -> mailman
interface (which are on different servers). 
I don't understand 
---> hence forwarding to people who might help.
