I plan to share it with close family. I share with the 3 people who have assisted me. I will assist others with hints about where to look and compare results after they have found something. >Also, keep in >mind that the results of your research do not necessarily belong to you. But the way I have put everything together and the way I have personalized the data does. I don't have a web site and I don't plan to publish. But I have passed some early theories to two people who later put the info all over the internet under their own name. I spent a lot of time proving myself wrong. One asked me for some info recently and I replied with a couple of paragraphs. Within an hour I got my reply back by e-mail - it was sent word for word as HER opinion to someone who had asked her and she missent to me. Hugh

She also posted bad information on the net and I got the blame.... When people questioned her she replied "oh, I got that from Bill." To say the least, no more info from me to her. I am very careful with whom I share information since that time. Best, Bill BTW... Merry Christmas to all.
