I got some angry replies about my post. Ralph Reed has been utterly scrupulous about getting permission from me to use my family names, and I gave it because I'm not trying to make money out of the family histories I write. I would be surprised if he's trying to rip anyone off, and I doubt he makes anything out of his CDs. It looks like a labour of love to me, but to each his/her own. As a published writer who has been ripped off by Eurpoean publishers and plagiarised by other "writers", I'm fairly sensitive about this. Susan Geason
