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.
