I received several of these messages too! And I wasn't 'attacking' any particular person or company, just giving my opinion. I do believe in this country we are allowed to express our opinion.

I received an email from Rootsweb asking if I requested to have my own message removed! I didn't ask to have my message removed, but obviously someone did. I wasn't even criticizing Ancestry or Rootsweb, just advising that people be careful about those with whom they share their data in whatever form, because some people don't seem to respect the ownership of our hard work. To whomever requested that my message be removed, I have this to say: Why are you so offended? If the shoe fits, wear it!
