The commercialism of genealogy on the web is bound to happen. Frankly I hate to see it, myself. I just hope that those who have labored hard, like yourself, are able to profit from it instead of those who are "in it" for other reasons besides genealogical research. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing banner adds on the genealogy.net site if I knew that money was being used to expand the site. I hope that someone will be able to decipher any copyright issues involved with Internet publishing and protect the valuable resources which you have from plagiarism. I'm sure that you realize that plagiarism on the Internet is just a simple mouse click. Looking on the bright side; "dot. com" says "commercial site" anyway. So I, for one, prefer "dot. net". Thanks again, Paul Bronson Seattle W. Fred Rump wrote:
