Lots of work is done there to identify strangers who are being added by dedicated volunteers to sites such as Find a Grave. It's in keeping with the spirit of volunteerism and collaboration in genealogy, similar to years ago when the censuses were not yet online and people emailed each other to ask for lookups. It is a place to come and enjoy yourself and ask for help on some sticky item or two or where to look for things you need. If you come there asking for independent, ground-up verification of what you already know and have published somewhere on the internet or in a book, it is highly likely that you will fairly quickly be BUSTED.
