Melody, Some of us are illiterate about the stories. We would love to hear them. I am a spiritual person and relate to these stories, although there is a side of me that is very science oriented. I feel that both sides are relevant, and can be looked at. Judy is out hostess, and it's up to her to control the postings. I know that sometimes hosts and hostesses do allow conversations to veer slightly off course but when they speak their minds clearly we must respect that. There was an offer to open another list if we wish it. May I suggest one similar to Dan (who hosts the Cherokee), he offers one called Cherokee-culture and another he calls chats (that is for well being wishes, ect.). Perhaps we can set up a Creek-culture list where people can share their stories, include things they have read and find out how the Creek people would interpret that or explain it. the list would clearly be for cultural, heritage type things, and shouldn't be a general chit chat list. A chit chat list could begin if enough people chose to do that. Anyone can host a list, you simply go to rootsweb and request the list you want to open. Just a thought, hope it's worthwhile to some of you.
