Malcolm,

If the powers that be from Genes have any sense they will be pleased as punch that yoou would like to mention the site in your book.

As a fellow sufferer (if a somewhat mild form) I am gladdened by the thought that someone (who's posts I have often read) is going to write about Mental Illness.

Mental Illness, in its many forms and guises is a widespread, often misunderstood, debilitating illness.

Good luck with the book Malc.

Hi Malc,

I suppose the way round it would be to mention just 'a well known genealogy site.'

I hope things are going better for you now and your family aren't causing so many problems. Doesn't get easier even as they get older tho, does it?

Best wishes for success with your book, it's brave to write about mental illness but more people should learn about it and understand, no one ever knows when it could touch their family.
I wish I could get through to people, even those close to me, how ocd works! It's not a case of mind over matter! How I wish it was!

I want to contact GR management about a book that I am writting about my mental illness. I have mentioned the site in this book as the friends I made on this site(many I still have) got me through some of the really tough times of my illnes. (If any of you are reading thisa big THANK YOU). I just want to ask GR if they have any problem with this.
Regards.
