I did submit my tree to Ancestry not long after I first started but it is basic and doesn't have half the info it has now. My tree is also on GR but again not up to date just basic.
If anyone contacts me regarding relatives I check through my program and see what I have. If there is a link then we chat about the links and info etc for a while. Once I know they are definite then I will offer them a shareable CD which shows our mutual link.
If people want to copy my basic info on any sites then that is down to them. I do try and warn them that it is basic and not 100% correct but not many listen. I don't mind sharing my info with anyone researching the same family lines - I always have done but there are a few who don't like sharing theirs. I just get on with it then and start to search and get the info myself.
As for the false information - I don't think that is right but yet again I understand why you would want to do it. I know we have all paid out good money for all the research we have done and it is down to our own hard work that this information is neatly laid out for others to see. But it is one of the downsides of uploading to the net that others and some deceitful companies will use the info to their advantage with or without our consent
