All I can say, is never put anything on a Public tree that you don't want anyone to see or copy. I have minimal information on GR and only open my tree if I am really certain the person asking is definitely a descendant of one of my ancestors and usually I ask them to open their tree first. 
The bulk of my research is on Legacy on my own laptop, but there are any number of family tree programs available.

a short reply is often a man-mail, they don't tend to elaborate as much as the ladies I agree there, it doesn't matter what an e-mail is about, or to whom it is sent, if my husband writes it, it sounds very curt. He doesn't mean it to come across like that, but he doesn't add the niceties that women would. It's the same if he's writing letters, so he always gets me to check them over now before he sends them.

lol sorry but opposite in this house, i am forever telling the wife i think her responses to something looks a bit short, and she accuses me of writing war and peace when replying to something, i often get via genes "can i look at your tree" THAT'S IT!
and many times it is female, hasten to add i am never rude when i get that 'cos i NEVER ANSWER 
so sorry Lizzie have to disagree on that one  (oops just noticed you didn't say it first Lizzie, so i'll disagree with you agreeing )
only yesterday somebody sent a short email asking is such and such on your tree married to blah blah, i replied with a pretty long email saying how they were on my tree and why so they would know if they had a link, and i assume because there was no link, they havn't replied, i WOULD reply to say thanks for that and talking the time and trouble but different family
Have to agree re the putting things on a tree, in fact it's madness to then not expect someone somewhere is going to abuse it if its out there in the big WWW, this forum compared to MOST has to be the best for people's attitude towards help,
hence people don't mind keep doing it, (still winds me up when they don't acknowledge people taking time lol)
i will stop before i ramble again

Ancestry is my main tree and I put virtually ecerything I can find on it.
It is a wee bit galling sometimes to find my photos appear on other trees with no message of thanks or any communication whatsoever - but then I think deep down, it's actually quite nice that my ancestors are being looked at - if only briefly - and that they are 'out there' in webland and not being forgotten.
And then I quite like the fact that for a short whilst at least, someone has looked at them and thought about them, and I'm glad that people are copying my photos 
And eventually someone might collect them who has something useful to give back to me!

Yup! As I say if someone really wants your photo they will get it. If you do not want it used elsewhere then keep it in your photo album. If you look at the photo restoration sub forum at RootsChat you will see how Photoshop can manipulate photos. With a bit of practice you could do it yourself. You can see a selection of manipulated news photos Click Here or Click Here or Click Here Equally well Stalin had the habit of airbrushing out people that he had removed from power.
Didn't somebody once say 'The camera doesn't lie'......hmmmmm
