Dan, How many times have I stressed the point to the researchers on this and other lists - about posting their information on sites - there are many people out there just waiting for you to post your data so they can sell for a price. This happen to me just two weeks ago and I put a screeching halt to my posting certain info that has never been posted to the public.... The vouchers was restless and didn't want to wait on the postings - they were swarming and wanted it all once......ask me to fax entire contents for their web site immediately. If you don't want your research materials in the hands of all people and sold for a price - you better not post......
