I do not want to keep this going, this is all I have to say, MY point was this.....You submit your file, it is then put out on the WFT CD, they ARE excellent files, full of wonderful inf. for the researcher....however..I sent a look up offer to the list regarding several of theses CD'S....this list only! I received a letter via e-mail FROM Family tree maker, highlighting the agreement that is printed on the CD that I would not make this public information....the letter included MY letter to the list...It had to have been picked up via this list..the letter went on to point out that I could 'share'one file with a family member only....It was, and remains my contention that most people will BUY the CD, once they have the knowledge that their family is indeed on it...many people just wanted to eliminate a tree that seemed just close.....The same inf. can be gotten at libraries, free of charge..so what is the problem with someone sharing on a list?
