That was many years ago and is long gone.

I eventually got a reply from one of the admins, to the effect that he
couldn't find me on the members list. He suggested I resubscribe. I
attempted to do so, but the subscription was rejected on the grounds
that I was already subscribed!

I reported all this to the admin. He never replied but after a day or
two I suddenly started getting list traffic. I then tried the password
reminder again and this time it worked.

My assumption is that something was wrong with the Mailman database and
it is now fixed, but that's mere supposition on my part.

I don't think I want to go there again :-)
