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.

Someone 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.
