This is not genealogy research
One of my favorite soapbox issues.
Also trying to demonstrate meaningful subjects and
quoting copyrighted material - in paraphrasing or
quoting material care should be taken not to distort
it.
Having seen last week an offer to provide information
about anyone, within an hour [fee $40 credit cards
accepted] I thought listers might be interested in
knowing that how to find genealogical information is
now included in classes in "Find Out Anything About
Anybody on the Net".
An advertisement for a short Course given by the
Learning Annex. (A commercial organization which gives
one session courses on subjects of popular interest.)
This is from their New Media/Internet section
"
FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT ANYBODY ON THE NET--
GUARANTEED!
Aside from technical issues, the biggest lament about
cyberspace is, How do I find what I'm looking for? In
this fun, informative class, you'll learn how to use
the Net's basic search mechanisms, refine your
searches and find out not just what but who is out
there.
You'll discover how you can easily conduct research,
find what you're looking for and eliminate idrrelevant
search results. With online technology you can: Find
genealogical information/birth information. Conduct
prospect research (fundraising) Screen potential
mates, partners, tenants, landlords, etc. Identify
prospective customers and investors. And more. Plus:
the best white pages, yellow pages and e-mail
directories to help you find what you need--fast!
Materials fee $3

Course fee $39 [A 3 hour evening session, apparently
offered once a month]
Another argument for *not* posting information of
about living persons.
