Steve,
This is all rather disturbing. I wonder if your email address has been
flagged as SPAM and the moderator is not even getting it?
If you like I could try to make contact with the list administrator (what's
his address). I've only been a member for the list a short time, but my
experience with other members has been very positive. There was nothing
objectionable in any posts I saw from you, I'm now very curious as to why
this has happened. These machine-specific lists are an important support
network for all of us and if something is disfunctional it's worth finding
out what it is?
Another possibility is the moderator is not able to respond due to some
event in their lives (accident, death, etc.)? I run one of these google
lists (on EACA machines) and I know if I suddenly dropped dead, any emails
to me would go into a black hole until my yearly domain subscription runs
out.

Final disposition on my summary ejection from the Lisa list:
At the advice of several folks I tried contacting the owner and admin both
through the signup page on Low End Mac. Also tried making a request for
reinstatement through the e-mail address given there. Might was well have
been sending the messages into the bitbucket for all the response I've
received.
That's an even dozen messages I've sent to Dan and/or the list admin, who
will not extend the common courtesy of an explanation. Go figure.

has been forging googles group members and spamming
various groups. I had such a spam on the canon cat group.
It was from one of the members that has otherwise been
well behaved.
As a moderator, I had the option to mark it as spam and
that would ban the member. I almost did this before I recognized
the name of the sender.
This same thing may have happened to you. The moderator
saw a spam and simply pressed the spam button without
checking the members status, otherwise.
I chose to just delete the email.
That's what I originally thought, but I sent two or three "..why?"
messages to the posting address (where presumably the moderator would see
them whether or not I was a member) and the same number to the personal
gmail address of the purported list owner.
No response.
