Mary- No--the Board Admins list is not "wired" in any special way like listowners-L is. So your attempts to subscribe your new address SHOULD work. Possibly new subs are reviewed by the admin--and, if so, that might take some time. Check your list of subscribed lists to see if you might be subbed under the new address and you just failed to receive the welcome letter. Joan -------- What I'm not sure about is if there is a similar check on subscriptions to boards-admins as there is on listowners, and if so, how long do I need to wait before I can successfully subscribe from my other address? I have already tried to subscribe from the other address, but so far it hasn't been processed. I'm now figuring that maybe I need to wait a while first. If so, how long? **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music. (http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp003000000025 48)
