Gene Heskett is probably using an outdated, unsupported version
of Debian. etch, potato. squeeze, that sort of thing. So there is
little point in looking for a fundamental cause of the observation.
On something more modern, udev will automount if the device is
listed in /etc/fstab and is accessed. So not by default - but it
can be arranged.

LABEL=ARCHIVE-9 /media/ARCHIVE-9 vfat ro,gid=1000,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,noatime,noauto,user,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=5,x-systemd.device-timeout=1 0 0
mounts the device and unmounts it five seconds after it is ceased
to be used.
A really nice feature of systemd. systemd.mount(5).
