    3. Dear List Members, More and more postings to this list are referring to people who are still living. Please, please, please, in the interest of those people DO NOT post anything regarding living people on the Internet!!! If you want to share that kind of information with another member of the list, please just email each other offlist. Even then, please make sure that you have permission from the person you're writing about before doing so. You've no doubt heard scare stories about identity theft on the Internet. Anyone with a computer and a modem can look at what you post online, not necessarily out of interest in genealogy. Among genealogists there is a convention called Gen 100, meaning that information is only shared regarding persons born at least 100 years ago--therefore, probably no longer living. Can we make that a standard for posting on this list? Sijncerely, Lynn
