But any time you donate anything to a for-profit business, which Rootsweb.com
and Ancestry.com always were, runs the risk that it will become commercially
exploited. That is the reason I have *never* donated my GEDCOM to a
commericial
site. Nor would I allow anyone to host my web site for free because I know
that
means I run the risk that I'll lose control over it. My data are out there
on
my own web site at my expense, but at least I still have some control over
them,
with this caveat...

I hope you are not telling your list members the above information -- please
see the RootsWeb AUP concerning User-Contributed data. For
RootsWeb/Ancestry take control of your freely submitted/uploaded data would be a violation of
their own company AUP. RootsWeb has NEVER claimed ownership of or control
over (other than as distributor) your personal data.
