The Archives and the CC pages are both part of the USGenWeb (GAGenWeb) project. It is not a competition nor a race to see who can get the best or the most info. We are supposed to be working together to make genealogical information easily accessible to researchers. The topic of stealing information is a totally separate thing! If I submit a file to either the Archives or to a CC page with my name on it, I would be highly upset if someone took that information, took my name off of it and inserted their name. I am very disturbed that some of y'all are saying this is not that uncommon of an occurance. However, if I submitted a file to the archives and that particular CC wanted to link to my page in the archives, or even copy the info right onto their web page (as long as my file was in it's original form with my name still on it) I wouldn't mind at all.

Well said, Michelle! Thank you. Can we now put this issue to rest? We could beat on it all day long and not convince everyone else to see it the same way.

Actually it is a competition and a race within the Archives to see who can get the most info online and it has been going on for several years. Tim
