[Genealib] Re: Author's request to pull title from shelf and return

[glennperdue at bellsouth.net]

I do not make it a habit of weighing in on this type of discussion but as a researcher and a publisher of family books I feel I may have just a little insight into this request.

First: as a researcher I would hope one would not keep on the shelf books that they know contains misinformation.  There is a mind set that accepts as fact anything in print.

Second: it is unprofessional not to honor a request for removal of tainted data. By not doing so one might consider that you are perpetuation a hoax. And we have enough of them already.

It is up to you to put this away.

PULL the book.  Offer to return it or recycle it. If the person is willing to pay for the return, please do so, if not, recycle it.
