   That sounds like people not understanding the whole purpose of FS   
   FamilyTree.  It rather reminds me of a saying that my father used to   
   use:  "you can legislate for the fool, but not for the bloody fool."   
      
   I am not a member of the LDS Church and I do no embrace many of their   
   beliefs but I have met with much kindness and generosity from many   
   members and I admire much of what they do.  It costs me nothing to   
   garner a vast quantity of valuable data from the FS site and if it is   
   sometimes a little hard to find or a tad misleading then that is a small   
   price to pay and not worth my bitching about.
