Jay,
read that acknowledgement _closely_. I think you'll find that it said it
didn't sign you off because it didn't think you were subscribed. The last
dates I have for your signing in/out is Aug 29-Aug 31.

Sometimes mail systems change the "Return-Path" identifier of the mail
without your knowing it. That's what probably happened in this case. Make
sure the From: and Reply-To: addresses are set correctly in your mail
client; some mail systems will use these as the Return-Path identifier, and
save you (and me) a lot of grief.

Cheers,
Mark C.
