Who is trying to persuade you in your ideas not I.But I do think it is a 
double standard that if someone asks for a phone listing check or a SSDI 
check in this echo that it is plastered for all to see.What about the people 
that get phone calls from people that are searching don't you think that is 
an invasion of their privacy when it so happens that they are the wrong 
person.Those records in it self are made open for the public and people use 
them all of the time.Also Where in the echo rules does it say that search 
tips should not be made public.I do not charge for this information why 
should I it is free What blocks the doors is people like yourself that want 
to keep the doors shut with the closed mindedness.People can be on a very 
limited budget and may not be able to afford to hire an attorney to or an 
investigator to do the work for them granted they have more resources and 
access to more private information than the general public.So why not do what 
you can on your own first . Then if the time comes where you can go no 
farther then you may have to hire that attorney or investigator to do the leg 
work that you are not allowed to access.But at least you can go to them with 
the infomation that you do have.I thought that this is what this echo is for 
ADOPTEES IN SEARCH.It sound like to me that you would rather have it called 
Adoptees Who Would Rather Keep Their Heads in the Sand.But Like I said before 
if you don't want to read my posts then just pass them by or ask the 
moderator to cut the feed.Have a nice day I do hope you find who you are 
looking for.
