Blocking his access?!! But this is funny. Those sites are available for free! Some people will try ANYTHING to make a buck. This man must be some manic depressive from Austin, Texas. This boom town is stark raving full of people like that. Wish him luck getting rich off this one! This man isn't my landlord, Paul Walhus, is he? He's crazy enough to be! It's kind of like the copyright notices I put on some of my pages. I came up against a varmint head of a family association who told me that in exchange for my information published in her book, I couldn't share it with anyone without her permission or publish it anywhere or send it to the Mormons! I was spouting fire. I wrote on those of my web pages that contained information subject to the dispute, I hold copyright on this page. Of course, little of it originated with me, and I feel very strongly that it belongs to the entire family groups it concerns. You have my permission to do anything you want with it. You can copy it, publish it, whatever. If you want to try to sell it, good luck. BUT DON'T YOU DARE CLAIM RIGHTS TO CONTROL THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS INFORMATION! And I would appreciate being credited with this information - just to make sure noone somehow gets the cockeyed idea they have the right to control distribution of this information. As a practical measure, put a warning about him on every genweb site, and put familydiscovery as a keyword on your meta tags. When people search for his site, yours will come up. This will ensure that people doing searches on the web know that they have free access to the information. You might also want to consider asking the main genealogical resource sites, like Cyndislist, to put notices on their sites. Yours, Dora --- Mary Harris <mhharris@pcbank.net> wrote: > Hi gang!
