Rusty Lang, McIntosh County has never been a part of the Choctaw Nation. I've been very patient, but your posts violate several of the guidelines for this list. First, it is off topic since McIntosh County has never been a part of the Choctaw Nation or visa versa, so your posts are off topic. Second, cross-posting is not permitted (posting the same thing to several groups). The inclusion of an advertisement for a commercial enterprise also makes me think that your posts may qualify as spam as well. Please discontinue posting to this lists.
