Umm, so someone else has been sending me mail from mycol1@unm.edu asking
about my signature and a Pacific Coastal Group's location name???

: Who said I'm an anthropologist?! Can you guys perhaps attack the
: content of my posts instead of using all these straw-man characterizations?
Your post had limited content, since you addressed no standing litigation
issues. Sorry I didn't get around to pointing that out to you a few days
ago, my system was being user-unfriendly.
: What was "patently aggressive" about my post? The smilies?
No. The posit that equity of land claims conflicts (US vs Native Nations)
and intra-Native Nation claims, based upon an absence of actual litigation
interests. In short, constructive fraud, or aggressive ignorance. Pick one.
In my absence, feel free to attempt to make your equity (hence vacuity) of
conflicts claims with Mr. Russel. Like myself, he is a member of triballw,
a mailing list, and I'm working on something which will take most of my
attention for some days. I'll be watching, but choosing with greater self
restraint which posters and threads to attempt to correct.
It _is_ correction to point out an absence of factual information, such as
the absence of systematic conflicting claims between Nations characterized
along linguistic lines ("Athabascans" above) and others characterized along
non-linguistic lines, e.g. "Pueblo lands".
