Well Shal,
Time now for me to eat some crow!
This mornng I received a New Subscriber email message which was sent this time to my Gmail addy. Checked around further and found that I had, after all, saved my original CRL User Name and password under a Gmail addy. I was able to sign in and via that route I am finally being recognized as Owner of the group. (I had been trying signing in wth Gmail but using a password which I very often will use but it was the wrong one for my membershsip with the Gmail addy so I kept being denied Owner access.)
Also while I was logged in as the original Owner I made my other member ID ¨Cthe one which has the AOL addy¨C an Owner, too. So now what I should have done to begin with as a CYA for this sort of thing is now firmly in place, thanx to Y'all's advice. (And if it isn't being encouraged, then making someone else a back-up owner for one's new group should be an up-front suggestion for everyone who's setting up a new one.)
This has all definitely been a hands-on learning experience for me which I would not have unraveled without the comments and suggestions which you and several others had provided me!
Regards,
Paul Mitchell
CRL Owner (again, at last!)
