I sent a copy of a gedcom to FTM years ago, and the CDs have taken on a life of their own. It has come back to haunt me. Ever run a search on someone and found yourself listed as the "source" of bad information? So, take care, I'd say. When I have posted family trees, I pick only a small family group, that I have pretty well vetted, and not too many generations. Shirley, I think it was, has many generations, and lots of people, but restricts the possible download of a gedcom to just a few generations. It is good to get the information out there, as long as it isn't just something you copied from someone else's postings, and that you control it in some way. If there is anything that peeves me, it is finding the same "family" posted identically fifty times on the family tree sites, with the same source "gedcom #xxxx" as the authoritative source.
