I get the feeling some people will not be happy until we are all walking around with numbers stamped across our foreheads (or some other appropriate part of our anatomy) and not permitted to have names at all. Am I not allowed to know the name of my next-door neighbour and what he does for a living or the names of his wife and children?   I Write:   I wonder if your neighbours would like it if you gave their names and personal details to a magazine or here on the list? I certainly would not be very happy.   Mr Stockdill also Wrote: Genealogists should be the very last people to impose censorship on themselves. Are we not supporters of freedom of information and should we not be calling for more of it, not less?   If freedom of speech or information is what you want more of then why are you reporting a fellow genealogist to the administrator...I think sir, you might only value your own opinion.   Yours Pat
