Okay folks I am soooo sorry to say that as of today there are 70 members 
of the group. In the files and links area I have genealogy submissions 
for 35 people.
That leaves 35 people unaccounted for.

I have been in communications with Maria Cortez and she is looking into 
Copyright Protection for our genealogies. Now if the 35 of you that 
haven't sent in your work are hesitating because of that . . .well 
you'll have to communicate that to me. Then again if you have other 
reasons you'll have to communicate that to me. I guess what I'm saying 
is you need to communicate your reasons.
Otherwise on March 1, 2004 the 35 of you will be getting an email from 
me. And if you don't reply to that email within 2 weeks (March 15, 2004) 
I'm going to delete your membership to the group due to lack of 
participation.
the big bad moderator,
Joseph Puentes

PS: A note to the new people that have joined in the last month or so. 
Don't worry Just reply to that email with "I just joined on such and 
such a date and I need a couple more months." My reply will be "great, 
sure, suave, todo esta bien."
PPS: For those of you that don't have genealogy software it is perfectly 
acceptable to send in your genealogy in an email. Have a look around the 
"files" area for some excellent email genealogy submissions [look at 
Maria Gutierrez' work].
