    Max I am still trying to figure this out but It does look very promising!

    I have faith in you, Max, and know you will soon work out any bugs. Meanwhile, I´m beginning to like the way these group networks function and hope that this one soon has some lively discussion and exchange going on.

    Hey Max! Thanks for the invite. This seems really good. As for the photos, it seems to be the intention that all the member's photos can be viewed on the main page. One way that each member could avoid this, if they only want their photos viewed by a limited group, is to choose that on their preferences. That's my guess...If you figure something else out, let me know. I am very glad to be here!

    Max,

    This is the kaney we have been waiting for. The voice of our Pueblo will now resound neatly and globally, with our unbeatable spiritual army of magical zemes.

    Yagua...

    Your Indigenous post had 2 comments before mine. What happened to those? Do comments in a discussion delete after a time?-c

    ONE of the moments of confusion this site can cause?
    oh my, as if I needed another reason to be confused!

    Thank you Max for welcoming. For years I have kept of abreast of your work and that of others in the Indigenous Caribbean Network. It is astonishing to see the great accomplishments that have taken direction due to this site.

    Thanks MAX for the welcome but how could anyone not be
    interesed in the caribbean and its history which i believe is
    just starting to be understood also about their cricket team,
    the sheer joy they show win or lose world wide has attracted
    large numbers of children to this healthy life style , my only
    regret is that i'm not 60 years younger to see this 1st hand

    You are welcome to join the language group too. I'd be interested in hearing about the challenges surrounding making a dictionary. I have a glossary (to small to be a dictionary yet) and would like to hear your thoughts about dictionary making.

    Hey Max! You have been on my mind! Bought my tickets to Trinidad yesterday (for me & my son!) I will be there in July. Will you still be there? I'll write you more soon,
