Exactly, Mike.

I am sure most people, like me, are interested in ancestral relatives.  My 
passion is the history of the various periods in which my ancestors and 
ancestral relatives lived.

The issue is that, interesting and wonderful as they may be, ancestral 
relatives are not ancestors.

"Some of us strive for precision in our research.  Labelling people as 
ancestors when they strictly are not is, to me, an example of imprecision which 
can lead to - no offence intended to anyone in particular - sloppiness in 
research.  As an example of this, I view the past behaviour of some 
contributors to the LDS records as being sloppy in the extreme.  Just name 
collecting.
