Can someone please explain what benefit the XXGenWeb sites and/or the USGenWeb sites would reap from having this disclaimer on each of the sites? Personally, I can't see one, nor can I see how this would facilitate the growth of the Project. I also agree that it would be difficult to get the CCs to "buy in" to this revision.
