I welcome the informative debate. I have been on this list long enough to remember when any discussion was curtailed immediately and much information that would have otherwise been offered was shut down. I have made it a policy to never send information in bulk to anyone, the LDS included, who will distribute that information at the drop of a hat. I have recently decided to refrain from sending my information to most of my "cousins" for reasons already stated by you folk. I have offered documentation to cousins with bad information and have been ignored. It is as if these people want a long name count and do not care about the facts. I also need to tell you that we can engage in internet genealogy and still care about the facts. Occasionally, I will "seed" one piece of bad information in with some good. If what I have shared is misrepresented or misused, I then have the ability to list or website readers that the published information was erroneous and unauthorized and, at the very least, make clear the name of the offender for all to see.
