Thank you very very much!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Dusty [mailto:dustyc@microgear.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:49 AM To: CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CHOCTAW-SE] The Legend of the Seri Indians I am getting WEARY of asking that all postings to the CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L list be connected to CHOCTAW GENEALOGY ONLY!!!!! I am about a hair off of putting this list on monitor status. That means that NO POSTING will get through unless it is OK'd by me! Since I cannot be at my computer 24 hours a day, that means listmembers will receive postings only once a day and only those I find suitable. It is incomprehensible to me that ADULTS with enough smarts to operate a computer cannot follow simple instructions. I have explained over and over WHY WE MUST HAVE THESE GUIDELINES!! It takes all of 30 seconds to subscribe yourself to the CHAHTA-L list that was set up for discussions on history, culture, religion, etc. I don't like having to treat intelligent, capable researchers like a bunch of unruly children. If you don't like the guidelines, then UNSUBSCRIBE OR I will do it for you!!! This is the LAST TIME I plan to write a message like this. dusty List Admin. ----- Original Message ----- From: george ann gregory <wood_owl@hotmail.com> To: <CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [CHOCTAW-SE] The Legend of the Seri Indian Nation > > Tiburon means "shark" and this island is a sacred place for the Seri.
