Man, what a boring night at work.  One trip to Ogden and back, 6.5 hours 
sitting at Roper yard watching the rails rust.

Anyway, don't worry about it, it happens.  It might be from accidentally 
clicking on the personalized "Unsubscribe/Manage" link added to the end 
of each realtime message.  It could be you, or more likely another list 
member, since folks rarely edit out all that stuff when they post a 
response.  Or it may be from some random hacker who is going through the 
publicly accessible archives and finds the link which has not been 
edited out and clicks on it just to be a pain.

On a side note, Januaru 2020 could be a record month for the number of 
FOT posts, thanks to the Mid Ohio discussions.  I'll have to do some 
cipherin' later on, check message counts for various months, see how we do.

mjb.
