Joan I'm sure you are watching all the controversy on the other lists. Some will say 'absolutely not' it is not nor will ever be 'ok' with them for ancestry to use cached pages of thier web sites. Others are saying differently.

Nope I rarely pay attention to live forums these days. Most lists that I belong to are private lists, and it hasn't come up.
