Subscribers --
These are guidelines for these lists.
If you have any question, please address email to me personally. Thanks.
I'm not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice, but I believe any facts as
to names, places and dates are usually in public domain, (and probably
widely available on the internet and LDS FHC microfilms) although the
coding of a web page or the wording of an email are copyrighted.
It is courteous to give credit to the compiler of information,
particularly where you have not seen the sources. This is particularly
important if the compiler considers their material proprietary or have
plans to publish.
All material on the net is considered a guide or hint or finding aide, and
the compiler should verify it for themselves.
It is also courteous to state sources where possible to aid other
compilers to check for themselves. It is not necessary to give
academic or professional citations in a mailing list or web space. The
name and date of the book and
author, any on-line URLs, family legend or unknown source are fine.
Speculation or hypotheses can be stated.
