To the self appointed high council of Indiana GenWeb, Why is Indiana setting laws on this. Is this not more properly a function of the U.S. level of GenWeb? Shouldn't they, and not you, be setting up standards? As for the recent flap, I believe all of the VOLUNTEERS (capitalization intended) understand that their sites are there to facilitate genealogical research, so a bi-law mandating this is either a redundancy or a patronization. If it is being done to prevent someone from also selling snake oil from their site, I believe we also understand this without an extra law. Secondly, I raised the issue of using non-standard terms like CC SC NC etc. If they are abbreviations, standard or not, the laws governing the use of English state that they must be written as C.C., S.C., and N.C., etc. And then you need to have them defined somewhere publicly so that we know what the hell you meant in the first place. Otherwise, they will be mistaken for things such as South and North Carolina. I missed one GenWeb election last year because some idiot said the vote was for SC and NC, which only the U.S. Post Office uses as 2 letter codes (note that they are not abbreviations) for the states. I ignored the vote because I'm in Indiana and have nothing to do with North or South Carolina. Thirdly, since we are Americans, regardless of any superficial vote, most of us will ignore BIG BROTHER, and do it our way, and in the best way we can. Glen McGlothlin La Porte GenWeb
