Hello Wendy, I have now managed to subscribe ONCE even though I sent off four messages. Goodness knows where the other three messages are. Thank you for taking the trouble to reply.

It is reasonable to wait 24 hours before becoming concerned about a subscription request - at which stage writing to the List Admin - listname-admin@rootsweb.com should be your next approach. I'm the GLS List Admin, and usually approve subscription requests within an hour or so. I've now subscribed you to the list - welcome on board!
