You should have used the ADD command. When Listserv sees SUBSCRIBE it assumes you are making a change to your own subscription, so it changed its records to say that your "name" is this other guy's email address. Then you probably tried to remove someone else with the UNSUBSCRIBE command, instead of the DELETE command, and got yourself unsubscribed. SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE are about your own subscription. ADD and DELETE are for you to change anybody's subscription. Listserv does not catch it when you use the wrong one and you can end up with some funny-looking subscriptions. You need to SUBSCRIBE yourself again (and be sure to specify your name so you get that part fixed), ADD the other guy, and use REVIEW to get a copy of your list and look it over to see if there are others that are not as you intended.
