When she wrote, "Of course, he used most of the data, but we ALL saw THAT one coming!! As long as the info on the living is gone, and my name is no longer attributed to his site, all is well with the world again!!!!" I took it to mean that she didn't want him using her data -- just the data, not the quotes, and attributing it to her. I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Debbie Debbie- The reason Joan doesn't want her name attached to it is that it isn't what she'd have wanted listed as being HER work. There is no problem with the person paraphrasing her words and taking the public domain info from her research but allowing him to quote her verbatim and use her copyrighted private content is not what she wants and I understand that completely. It is actually worse to be quoted at length and have content attributed to you that you don't want online, than for someone else to take their own responsibility for it. Joan will now be able to prepare hew OWN files in the manner she wants them displayed and post them online herself under her name.
