I certainly don't mind people quoting me, in fact I'm flattered, IF they give me credit. And certainly not if they are reproducing my words just to make money... no way.

But, the web does offer one, at least, advantage for an author. With text matching, we can always look for reuse (even with changes in the wording). Too, time does go forward. With time stamps everywhere on the web, one would not expect that all time-related bits to be could be mangled into agreement. That is, precedence is a strong argument (baring, of course, that someone knocked the author on the head and then posted the work as theirs, or some such). <br /> <br />On a related note, Heather's blog is an example of what genealogy needs. Somehow, though, we need to have ratings about believe-ability and more. Perhaps, some overarching framework for these types of blogs so that one can find them easily. For one little research project, I finally got things in the proper order, yet I can point to tens of websites with erroneous information about the matter that were distracting (to say the least) until I figured out what was what. <br />AJSwtlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927070658835473340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-25783756486996474702013-10-04T08:15:49.584-07:002013-10-04T08:15:49.584-07:00Heather, nice post.
We need more of these detail...Heather, nice post. <br /><br />We need more of these detailed descriptions of the very wrong things that we can find on the web. Too, isn't it interesting that one cannot raise a human at Google? But, that's not all bad as I've seen people get into even a worse mess by talking to someone (either the person answering is as adept as one would assume, or the person is following an incomplete script, or the company's representative doesn't really know English - not being aware of our nuances - and more) on the phone. Too, personality comes into play, at that point. <br /><br />Now, I wanted to let everyone know that working at the user/menu level is insufficient to protect content. Firstly, using something like Chrome, one can save the page and grab from that context. Yes, that includes all of the formatting, etc. Or, in Tools, there is the means to view source which then is accessible. There are a number of other means. <br /><br />In short, nothing is private on the web unless https (or the like) is involved. But, of late, we're hearing that there have been backdoors put in which, we all can appreciate, will be mis-used at some point or another. <br /><br />The main adage: do nothing that you wouldn't want your mother to see in noon in the public square on a very sunny day. You see, the Puritans had some (few?) things right. <br />AJSwtlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927070658835473340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-56159992286354603002013-10-04T07:29:29.554-07:002013-10-04T07:29:29.554-07:00Heather,
