I usually do not respond to harshness and such when it doesn't change any outcomes of data, but when it comes to information like this, I agree with Vickie. We do need to be aware of it, but we should not state it in a way that it's attacking that person for doing this, but rather than the information she is submitting to many people is a breach of copyright and should not be used as reference material from her but rather the original source in which it originated from! Thank you for alerting me to this false information none the less! I will note it as a source to avoid!

Normally I would agree with you totally. However, if someone is doing something unethical like harvesting info from other websites or lists without permission I think it is something we should all be aware of so we can decide how much, if anything, we will share with that person. I am not taking sides here, I don't know the person who is supposedly doing this. But I am aware of the possibility of a problem now, and I think that is a good thing. Unfortunately, genealogy is not always sweetness and light. Vickie Elam White
