HI If someone has already copied some stuff off the site like your 1930 Census why would you pull it off now for the rest of us The deed has already been done??? and it is just hurting the rest of us by yanking it off. Rena

Let me add my 2 cents (and worth nearly every penny) worth -- There's no point in setting yourself up for theft of intellectual property. I know of one person who is apparently doing this sort of theft right right now (this person may find him/herself behind bars before too long, but I digress); that doesn't mean that there aren't others out there, looking to milk another person's hard work. You may gasp, "My, that's dishonest!", but it is truly a fact. The internet has become an unsafe place to store and share information, plain and simple. We have an effective list here that involves a lot of really good, decent people (I say that because I'm one of them, heh-heh, and I know many of you -- heck, some of you are cousins!). I think that we can figure out, amongst us family & friends, a way to share information and keep it out of the hands of crooks and thieves who just want to make a dirty buck. Let's play it safe, especially for the sake of all of you who have worked tirelessly to gather and share meaningful family history, without a thought to what it might profit you (or someone else).
