I agree. I don't see this change being needed.
Thing are working well.

Subject: Re: [OHGEN-L] FYI: Census v. Archives - USGW Board item
My opinion and what I sent to the two reps on this
subject:
Changing of Census Project to an Archive Directory would
be a mistake.
I do have census data online at my web site for Richland
County, Ohio. As far as I know it is not listed in the
archives or the Census Project.
However, the following text from Joe Zsedeny really
bothers me. Especially when there is no rationale
behind listed.
Since I pay for the rootsweb space myself and do all the
work for Richland County on that site, the decision to
display and store that data should be up to me.
Otherwise, I would have no qualms in finding another ISP
Web Server or another Network system if these kind of
decisions are made without my permission.
The data from the census was generously donated by a
local genealogical society officer of that county and I
will fiercely guard the control, content and use of that
data.
Any attempts to alter, move, transfer or otherwise
relalign the data out of my direct control will be cause
for me to remove the entire web site to another server.

"A motion is made that Whereas directories are being
inappropiately used for unintended archival purposes it
is hereby resolved that all archival data directories
not under the USGW XXGenWeb Archives and containing
census data be purged immediately of all such data and
the census data placed in the appropiate XXGenWeb
archives. This includes but is not limited to the
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/census/ directory.
It is further resolved that Dr Brian Leverich be
requested to return the USGW Census Account(s) to the
USGW Archives Census Accounts."Joe Zsedeny USGW Archives
