Ahhhhhhhh, THIS Joan IS VERY HAPPY.....enough to even go by Joan again!! NOW YOU HAVE IT, in a nutshell.....had I not had the misfortune of seeing how this guy works, I would have probably allowed him to use any, maybe even ALL of my explanations, AND include my name, as I stand by my research 100%....mistakes and all!!! Of course, if he had been a credible, ethical individual, then only the portions of my e-mails that were pertinent to the story would have ended up online, and I never would have gone into this tailspin at all!! I have NO PROBLEM with people crediting me for contributions, and generally feel quite proud to have been credited....which is HOW this all started! I sent him a file that had been previously sent to a credible, reliable genealogist friend of mine, who has my permission to pass on my work to anyone he sees fit, and does so regularly....as I do with his material. He gets credit for his work, and I for mine....as it should be! Unfortunately, this JERK published my entire e-mail, in which I apologized for the file font being large, as my TRUSTED friend is legally blind. No disrespect was intended, but I doubt my friend would have been pleased to find that information posted on the internet....and it had NO BUSINESS going up in the first place!! Mr. Jerk was just too eager to post my material, and too lazy to edit out things that had no business being posted!!! THANKS, I feel better now!!!! Joan
