At least if s/he throws you out, you will notice and can talk to
the listserv administrator.  Perhaps you should be more worried
that s/he might mess with your subscribers and their options,
using QUIET commands, and you would not know what was happening!

As a listserv administrator, I don't mind restoring a rightful
owner (I've actually had to do it once), but I wouldn't be
thrilled if I was asked to go through months of logs to try to
determine what changes a particular co-owner has made....
