All
I believe like everone else says ... that information is for sharing BUT
what I am against is using freely given information and then charging for
it
! to some unsuspecting individuals....
Any info I have on my site which I don't want "nicked" is encrypted using
Taglock pro software at http://www.tagslock.com/
It doesn't stop anyone "reading" it but doesn't allow stealing it !
regards
Bill
PS - No interests or connections to this software at ALL
