[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 403928, member: 3907"] Donna, you've expressed perfectly why I worry about databases and registries. I work in information technology, and data management is one of my areas of focus. Once information exists in a database, and that system is linked to other systems it is next to impossible to strip the data out. It always exists somewhere. You delete it from one file, but it's already been linked somewhere else. Or it's been archived and saved in a tape library somewhere...you get the idea. If someone is either mistakenly registered or someone makes a false claim, then they can never really get away from it. And trying to trace every instance of the bad data and correct it is a nightmare. And then there's always the human factor. Some of the people I work with say, "You can make a system idiot-proof, but then they build a better idiot." If someone has an agenda, or they didn't wear their glasses, or they entered the wrong line from a paper form, or whatever...once that information is in a system somewhere, it's there for good.
