Are you saying that your subscription to this list went as expected
including the confirmation e-mail and then only after you posted you
got a confirmation request from the other list?

That's an interesting theory, but it still could be a coincidence. If
your theory is correct, why just attempt to subscribe you. why not
subscribe you without confirmation required? And, why not subscribe me
too?

Then again, maybe there's someone picking on you?
