Keep in mind that blogs, websites, genealogy “network” sites, etc. are great places to share and exchange information, but one still needs to be concerned with preservation. In the modern digital age, publication should not be equated with preservation.

What in Hades does “…publication should not be equated with preservation.” mean ????? mjnrootdig, what is your point?
Online publication of information is not the same as preservation. One should not assume that just because you’ve published something online that it’s been preserved.
