It must have been a year ago that I ribbed Mexconnect management about Mérida being north of Guadalajara making the northern Yucatan Peninsula more appropriate for a designation as Mexico´s Middle East but that was all in fun. Some of you guys are taking this entirely too serious but I enjoyed YucaLandia´s and Memo´s responses just above.
Now, as one who lives in San Cristóbal de Las Casas much of the year, a part of Mexico no one could doubt is in the deep southern, part of the country and one who often visits other southern states from the Caribbean to Gulf to the Pacific, I must agree that, while, the states of Campeche, Yucatan and part of Quintana Roo are not geographically in southern Mexico, they are, for the most part, very much culturally a part of southern Mexico. It is tough enough for management to attract participation in the Southern Mexico Forum without their breaking down the posts in a more precise geographical fashion and creating specific forums which would attract no posts so I support the present configuration except that I find in disturbing that Michoacan State, which is clearly a mid-Pacific state, is designated a part of the Central Highlands if you get my drift.
As a deep southern boy whether in Mexico´s Jovel Valley or Alabama´s Gulf Coast where I was born and raised, I am totally offended that yankees among us attempt to define the "south" and some midwestern interlopers from such hillbilly precincts as Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas to say nothing of westerners from Texas pretend to be southerners when anyone with half a brain knows that the south consists of that precious territory that ends on the north on a line as defined by the state lines of South Carolina through Mississippi and on the west by the Texas-Louisiana border.
