Perhaps it should be pointed out that xxGenWeb PRoject )where XX is the two-letter postal code abbreviation for each state) are service marks and reserved exclusively for The USGenWeb Project - is false. http://www.argenweb.com/ - is hosted in Argentina and I doubt they'll hand it over to The USGenWeb Project. KSGenWeb - Kansas' project is incorporated as such in the State of Kansas. While at present they are affiliated with the USGenWeb Project - they could just as well leave and having the name incoporated could stop the USGenWeb Project from using the same name. The only service marks with the Project name in them are of a national status - not a state status. Just the facts. Tim
