Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it is necessary for me to write to you immediately. I have something very important to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (ronaldmorr001@gmail.com) for full details.
Best regards,
I'm also trying to write up some of the Carib stuff I did on Dominica a couple years ago, I'll keep you posted on that.
How are you ?
I left a post in the Language group and thought perhaps you might have some insight on the subject.
By chance have you gotten a chance to read "Sociedad y Economia de los Tainos" by Francisco Moscoso ? I acquired a copy of the text, but have been unable to read it as I have been busy with school. I am happy to have acquired a copy of this text for my collection. I hope to study Pre Columbian and Post Columbian Religion among The Taino.

Is there a way in which the system can be set so that as individual members post blog posts to their own pages, we can be notified. At this point I have no way of knowing who has posted without visiting each and every page. The good news is that ICN is growing in leaps and bounds. However, since some people post often and others not at all, it can be time consuming checking each members page. There are some truly awesome posts worth reading/viewing. I am posting one today that I would like to have everyone be aware of. Any hope for some type of front page list of new blog posts by our members? ~c
