Okay...I'm still missing a couple of parts of the picture...(clever 
tracking system, though)

You don't recall what the form was you submitted it to?

In order to get into the freebsd-questions list, there is a submission 
request...as I recall it verifies you want to be signed up to it.  How 
did you get on the FreeBSD list to say this had happened if you never 
signed up to it?
