No Ben you are not losing it!!! I am the senile one!
I sent the first query then later when you pointed out (in reply to an
email sent directly to you) that I was not yet a subscriber I resent my
subscribe request (this time quoting the correct address) and resent the
query.

Noting the replies that have followed I now realise that although I had
thought that my query would have been lost - or that i would not have
received any replies, not being a subscriber at the time, - I ended up
in confusing things - not least myself and now you.

I believe I have had a satisfactory answer now so we can end this
chain!!

Cheers
Pat
