More than likely you were automatically unsubscribed if your mail server was 
consistently unreachable. The algorithm that mailman uses isn't quite this 
cut and dry, but if the list tries to send you posts and 6 of them bounce 
back as undeliverable, you get unsubbed by the software automatically.

Many people don't realize when this happens. Your mailbox may be full on the 
server, you miss some, then you check your mail clearing it out and more 
comes in, etc.

Let me know if it happens again and I'll investigate it further for you.
