Myra,
If you keep copies of your email you'll find the whole situation
explained in my email to you on 3/2/02. It was titled "Re: Re: my
research (fwd)".
If you don't archive your emails I have a copy and can resend it to you.
My website and my newsgroup is all about sharing, but taking someone's
work verbatim which included notes and claiming it is a result of your
own research is what I was objecting to. Like you, I have found my stuff
"lifted" and put all over the net and have never complained. I have no
problem with that. This person, was a member of the group, had access to
the entire database, and knew about the group's policy of withholding
living individuals. Right after she took the gedcom and published it, she
left the group.
