Sandy, I really might agree with you on some of your issues but I refuse
to become part of such anger and resentment that your emails seem to
explode with.
You really need to learn to cool it before you 'bust a blood vessel'.
Remember you get further using sugar than vinegar.

Well, apparently there is no "violation," Denise, because
as you've
pointed out, it's perfectly A-OK, for CCs to run their personal
businesses and charge whatever fees they wish, so long as they don't
place their business ad (a link is okay, though!) on the front page
of their site. Geeze.
I think there's one heck of a conflict of interest, not to mention an
*ethical* violation of the intent of this project, which is to be
*free* - when CCs are actually making money by running private
research businesses from their county sites to pay for their
scanners, computers, or whatever else they want to buy with the money
they earn courtesy of the US/NCGenWeb Project. This isn't confined to
one CC. I'm aware of several who are doing it.
Since the current rules or guidelines apparently do *not* preclude
CCs from using this project as a means for conducting their own
personal businesses, I think we need to adopt some new rules that
*do* preclude it.
