Hi, Andy:

RootsWeb *does* allow for narrative report texts and all sorts of other
things, in a variety of forums including free online web space and message
boards. WorldConnect does not because *by definition* WorldConnect is a
*GEDCOM* forum. Criticizing it for not accepting other forms of data is
like criticizing Moses' stone tablets for not having active hyperlinks.
