You may also send your name to me. Steve Jacobson and I are Dave's list
lieutenants. My email address is:

k7uij at panix.com

I'll subscribe you if you're having trouble. Before hollering "uncle",
however, you might try making sure that your email program is sending the
"subscribe" message in plain text (as opposed to rich text or HTML) format.
I've noticed some AOL users having trouble subscribing via email to our
lists and believe HTML email to be the problem. Or you may subscribe from
the web page as I'm sure Peter instructed you.

Good luck!

  Good afternoon everyone,

  I'm jumping in to help Shara Winton with some problems folks are having
with
  subscribing to this list. A number of individuals have attempted to
  subscribe to this list only to have their subscription requests forwarded
to
  Share for moderator approval. Originally it was assumed that subscription
  requested would automatically be processed with no moderator intervention
as
  happens with most other NFB Net-hosted lists. I have asked David Andrews
to
  look in to this further in order to troubleshoot this problem. This is a
  matter Dave Andrews will need to remedy, but let me make the following
  suggestions so folks can subscribe with a minimum amount of frustration.

      Prior to the national convention David Andrews asked me for a list of
  folks who wanted to subscribe to the TN-Talk List. Since it was a week
  before the national convention I wasn't sure that it was a good idea to
  automatically subscribe folks only for them to return home to find their
  inboxes brimming with E-mail from this and other lists they may be on. For
  that reason I suggested that we wait until the national convention was
over
  before we give him a list of subscribers to add to the TN-Talk List. If
you
  have had difficulty in subscribing to this list please send your name and
  E-mail address to David Andrews so he can subscribe you. He can add you to
  the list and you can begin corresponding with each other that way. Dave's
  E-mail address is:
  dandrews at visi.com

      Please bare with us while we remedy this problem. I hope this helps.

  Peter Donahue
