I am in the minority I guess in wanting all postings to be shared. It helps to know other families in the area I am searching and I am often able to help people with their questions because I have a subscription to census records and I do know something about families that I am not related to because of records I have come across while searching for my own. It isn't that hard to delete well labeled postings or even to read a couple of sentences to determine the sense of the content. Too bad--it does make for a pretty slow moving list. V Shaw
