Linda:
I would appreciate you showing me any post where I have been nasty to Ruth
or anyone else on this list. I was the first to offer Ruth advise and then
today I offered my understanding of Dusty's reason of sending Cherokee info
off list. It was not offensive to Ruth, I had no reason to be nasty to her,
but meant to help her understand Dusty was not being tacky. As I stated I
should have known to send the Cherokee info to her off list. I would not
start a Chahta discussion on the Cherokee list, yet I helped do just that on
this list. If it was a put down to anyone it was myself. I would have asked
Ruth for her permission to write off list as I always do. When my intent is
to be nasty to someone, I will make my intent very clear.

I was thought that throwing up to others, such things as donations, gifts,
etc, was disrespectful and tacky.
