>   Thank you for the warm welcome; this is the first Yahoo! group I
have joined.  As my e-mail address indicates . . . I'm half Goth.  In
fact I have double cousins that way.  My father's sister married my
mother's brother.

I must see the evidence before I conclude that you are indeed half a
Goth. You must be joking.

tribes and how they eventually came to the United States.

You must be joking. No Gothic tribes came to the United States. You
must be aware of this.

>    Also, I would like to learn more about their strategy for
battle.  Apparently, in their day, they were a force to be reckoned
with. Some of us are that way yet today; so the saying
goes, . . . "If you hit one, you may as well have hit them all!"

Now I know that you are joking. It never hurts to be lively.
