The point is Joan has no control over data that is in the public domain--once she has given that info to anyone they can use it within their own content as their own conclusions. She just doesn't want it attributed to her. She can put her own data in her own words online herself and have it say just what she wants and nothing more. It is always better to have control of your own data under your own name. Joan
