Ed, I enter everything and source everything. HOWEVER, I am very selective with what I share with others. I will only export a select branch or even just a single family. I will mark people as invisible if I need to but I can’t even remember having to do this because I rarely send anything to anyone that is dated more recent than about 1900. Why, because if it is recent they should have been able to find it themselves :) I never GEDCOM my entire file and send it to someone.

But I'm hesitant to include much information on living people, even though this can be suppressed by whomever gets the file. It's entirely possible that they could enter this information online (whether intentional or not), or share it through another medium. This has been a concern of mine, and I wonder how others handle it. Genealogy could be a gold mine for unscrupulous people. 1. How much information do you enter, if any, about your children or other living family members, and do you include sources? 2. Do you enter sources for yourself? You don't need them, but others might in the future. Thanks for any direction in this matter.
