DAStoddard,
I subscribed to the "James-L-request(a)rootsweb.com", and as I read the web
rules, I was struck by the fact, (unless I misinterpreted), that any info
you submit to that web is copyrighted automatically, by the web's owner,
and you are not allowed to resubmit that info to any other line, after
you have submitted it to the "James Web", and a few other restrictions,
re: copyright laws. So, I unsubscribed, because I think that is wrong.

Now you have me alarmed. Can you recall where you saw this ruling?
I have combed the mail list pages and can't find it. I do know that our
mail list
will be archived and searchable.
We have been requested to copyright our USGenWeb pages, but that was to
prevent
"for hire" outfits from coming in and raiding this free info.
I'm not much on fine print, so if any of you folks see something along this
vein,
please point it out.
Thanks
Bobbe
