I think that is why I just don't like the collaborative environment, whether
it's Ancestry, The Next Generation, Geni, WeRelate, and soon, the new
FamilySearch.  I don't really like WorldConnect on Rootsweb either because
most aren't sourced to my liking and anyone surfing in can download your
Gedcom and add it to their tree.  You'd never know.

Someday (as in years) I'll probably do my own web site.  Rootsweb has free
space available via their freepages section.  Here's an example:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scheetz/  If you and
another person are working together, you can't both add onto the web site
and do it collaboratively, but you won't get people automatically adding you
to their tree either.  You also can just download the Gedcom and hook it to
your tree either.

Another guy has started his own web hosting site (don't trust me on all the
web hosting/domain/etc terminology, as I may be mixing the words up).
http://www.familyhistoryhosting.com/  He's John Cardinal who is a beta
tester with "The Master Genealogy" and has developed add-on programs for
it.  Now he's branching out into the web hosting business (for a fee).  He's
pretty receptive to ideas too.  I've met him twice and asked him about one
of his add-on programs.  I said I needed to correct all my Jose names to
José.  But I had some as Francisco Jose and wanted them to be Francisco
José.  The add on program would only correct the first name it saw and not
the second name, even though I was asking for a replacement of all Josés.
Guess what?  The next year it would correct any and all occurrences of José
in that particular field.
