Using the feature "Finding Relatives at RootsTech" usually "generates" lots of relatives you didn't even know about. Today I learned that a Family Tree patron is using this generated list to simply add the word "Roots" in the Collaborative (Notes) section for individual profiles. Can you imagine what would happen if others followed that example? Oh the "clutter" in Family Tree. What is the thought process for this kind of behavior?

    A couple of years ago, someone was doing that in my direct line, making "my 7 cousin" comments on every family member.

    That kind of clutter, if too many people do it, could bring the whole system to a halt.
