It's interesting that you don't include the url that you usually advertise
in your signature in your self-righteous bile to Rootsweb.

Are you aware that your site includes a solicitation for donations via
Paypal for some unspecified purpose?

Magdalena is up front about what's on offer, and is responding to what over
the years has proved to be an on-going interest. What are you asking for
money for?

Presumably, as you appear to think that this is a matter of principle (or
are you just stirring it?), if you don't get the wholehearted backing of
Rootsweb on this issue, you'll be slinging your hook from YORKSGEN?

Kushti bok,
