[Aztlan] Indian ? A rose by any...Be consistent or "Get the hook"

[vgray (gotsky)]

Yep! level of moderation should be reduced across the board. This thread is 
a good example. There is no need to arbitrarily foreshorten its life, or the 
life of any other post. If any post is applicable to Mesoamerican 
archaeology then let it pass unhindered.

Cheers Cliff
