All posts made to rootsweb maillists go into the archives. >> Does rootsweb allow its archives to be posted on sites like google.com and alltheweb.com It is really unnerving to see genealogy posts on these sites. So I think folks should be reminded not to post data about living persons without their permission. Suggest everyone might go to google.com and just list your own name as the search item. Interesting what you will find. Possibly becoming paranoid???? Ida
