Alan Thomas could give you a better view of how legitimate ISSN requirement is as he is currently in library work and outside of CAR-PGa, mine is in the past.
I can tell you this:
ISSN is valuable in distinguishing between similarly titled periodicals.
It gives a certain snob appeal impression (probably their concern).
CAR-PGa Newsletter has one.
And now for something completely different: Hawke's outpouring shows why you need to keep up with you participatiion in this discussion. :-) (Seriously, I would have hated to have missed your comments, even if they kept me up later than I had intended.)

That is useful information, thanks.
Since I had not made the requests in writing, should I try a more formal
approach? Previously is was just a verbal query. Maybe going through the
formal process in writing will make them less likely to refuse?
Also, is the ISSN requirement a legitimate issue or not?
Thank you.

"Holistic medicine treats the person rather than the disease,
its concern lies with the 'whole person' and with permitting
individuals to assume self-responsibility for their own health.
Whereas illness is the sole concern of 'traditional medicine',
holistic 'well medicine' deals with wellness and health promotion"
