Hi, Dirk.
I had almost the exact same experience as you. 
I was the  reputable listowner of 5 groups:
an internet marketing ezine, a Q&A forum for newbies (affiliate 
programs), a biz opp list, and 2 personal lists involving family 
and friends. I honestly beleive that up to 90% of all eGroups having 
to do with ad promotion have been deleted. They consider groups of 
this nature to be undesirable, in my opinion.
To make a long story short, I was confused, outraged, and very bitter.
I was told that the biz opp list had members who where spamming, and 
even though I policed this group for rulebreakers, it was deleted and 
I lost my account, leaving all of the other groups in limbo for 
weeks. I felt that I was being grouped together with the true
abusers, and my good reputation  tarnished. 
Finally, I poured my heart out to an eGroups' staff member, Brandon 
Long. He checked my listowner backround and found that I truly did 
"fall through the cracks", and he quickly reinstated my account. 
If you would like to contact Brandon, here is his address: 
mailto:blong@egroups.net. 
I have done my share of complaining about eGroups, but on the 
contrary, Brandon was very fair and very quick to respond.

Been there, done that,
