I had a similar problem with someone running MD;
 it is my usual action to initiate a who command when involved,
persoanlly with people on a list, in that manner should the list go down
I have emailaddresses with which to contact other list members: when one
of the list I belonged to was shut down I essentially maintained teh
communication by emptying one of my dead lists and moving the who list
into subscription.
 I was acused of "hacking the data base" of the former listr etc.
 basically the "who" command is a very important feature for close nit
groups, bu tit can be misused.
 I generally restrict who in every list I run as most are  vwery subject
to preditors.
 all one has to do is log in send "who" command and log out
