MOSTONERS, I am going to comment on the subject above then I want the members on this list to either post their GENEALOGY ONLY questions or comments to the list and address ALL other opinions and comments to the sender directly. I have spent years (literally) sitting in front of a microfilm reader and computer burning up my eyes, and taking time away from my family and friends to transcribe materials for the benefit of researchers in Stone and surrounding counties. I WILL NOT let an amoral person copy my years of work burn it to a CD and sell it for a lousy few bucks. If you think why pull it off the internet now that the deed is done? If someone is going to sell my work don't you think I should be the one making the money? It is called copyright infringment at best and fraud at worst. On the advice of my attorney yesterday I pulled everything transcribed by me off the internet until the matter is resolved. I'm not advising anyone else to go this route. It is my personal choice. All my transcriptions have been taken off of the Stone County website. The ones done by volunteers remain there and will remain there unless someone requests their transcription be removed. End of subject. Let us return now to what this list was intended to be ---- FOR GENEALOGY. Thank you all for your patience. Jo Dunne Stone County Coordinator
