Years ago I posted
to FTM and they put the info on CD. Subsequently I found errors. There is
no way to correct these errors. Now I post all of my data on WorldConnect
where I can correct my data and add information and remove it entirely,

This is an excellent point you have raised. How often we hear about how
rapidly incorrect information spreads via the Internet and how it "isn't like the
good old days," but what we don't hear is how easily incorrect info can be
found and corrected on the Internet where in a book or on a CD it is there
forever with no way to correct it other than pencilling it in in the book for our
own reference.
