I investigated this (hopefully this is the last we hear about this issue)
and found out that it is really my mistake:

When collecting names of people who expressed interest in the DLM, I  put
into that folder, by mistake, a digest of freebsd-questions.  Not noticing
this mistake, I processed the folder mechanically and ended up with a much
larger (by 4 so far :-) list than I intended.

I do recognize, however late, the great sensitivity which people have to
unsolicited listing.  I was strongly repremended, each word deserving.
