I too am a bit mystified. I have just been subscribed by Jim McKane of the
CoTyroneList, but I cannot find the link which allows you to browse the
postings. When you follow the link which Lindsay Graham provided to subscribe
to this list, the target page asks you to”simply Click Here to Complete the
form”. You then get a dialogue saying “Server not Found”. If Nancy is
attempting to subscribe to this list, she will have a problem.
I have sent a post to a thread “GRAHAMs from County Tyrone” in which Lindsay
Graham and Rita Snyder were participating. Hope they got it…. no reply.
