Brian: note data correction

[Rory M Larson]

He joined the list on about September 29, 2004.  He posted nine times from 
then until February 2007, when he expressed interest in the Saskatoon 
conference.  His interest seems to be in Cherokee and eastern Siouan, 
probably from a personal heritage point of view.  He asked questions about 
several obscure words and ethnonyms he was aware of, language uncertain, 
which may have gone unanswered.  His earlier postings were generally 
polite.  I don't think he means to be abusive; he is simply frustrated 
with technology and wound up yelling at the list because he couldn't 
figure out how to get off.
