[SystemSafety] Fwd: Re: New book

[Robin Messer]

My recent attempt to post was bounced. Please can I become a member of the list? 

I was a member of the old list when it was run by York and
I thought I had requested to transfer but I could be
mistaken. (Or is it because my 'from' address has changed
from robin.messer at altran-praxis.co.uk to robin.messer at altran.com?
In any case, please can I be added as a member with the address
robin.messer at altran.com.)

Thanks,

Robin.
