A study in contrasts: The little group at Duplin wants to keep the information under lock and key. Few can ever get there. vs a dying lady who wants to give away 13 filing cabinets packed full of her lifelong work. Wants it posted online to help everyone. Hmmm. Had I purchased one of those cards, I would have purchased the information on it. The information was exchanged for money. Therefore, with proper credit, I would feel free to disburse that information, in a responsible format, as I saw fit. How many people have huge gedcoms of their own work that have been published to help as many people as possible? How many have kept them safely stashed in their little computers and share with few/none. Yes, a study in contrasts. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ncduplin-request@rootsweb.com> To: <ncduplin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 4:21 PM Subject: NCDUPLIN Digest, Vol 3, Issue 82 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
