Why research the genealogy of someone for their families are not direct ancestors?

It seems strange to me that someone is placed on a genealogy message board who are seeking information for the family of his mother's sister's husband These are all possible answers. Be geneologists not publish some information about living relatives … so I was wondering if you care to share necessary information with those who are not direct descendants.

Have you ever gone to someone's house for dinner, been half-finished jigsaw puzzle on a card table in the corner, picked up one piece, seen from another. . . It wife called "Appetizers, dear" and calls to "move on without me – I'll be there in a minute or two." Repeat for the soup, salad, fish and meats. Four hours after the completion of her and the other guests, who are now in the dessert and coffee will look as if he had little green antennas in their ears should be. If you have, you would not be such a question. Take another example, why Sherlock Holmes to solve crimes? For the thrill of the chase, not personal involvement. And a third: I know a man who saved 5 years, traveled to Alaska, had a fall pilot, he and an equal partner fan in a lake where he spent a week catching and releasing 35 to 45 pound Arctic char. He ate one night and took pictures of others. They were in a tent hundreds of miles from anything like a hotel, restaurant, bar, movie theater. . . and he tells all he knows, often. It was the highlight of their year. Why would anyone take the trouble when you can buy fish at the store? For the thrill of the sport. If the failure is has bitten, you have to ask. If not, they never understand. It's one thing genealogist. ================== Added later: Mine is much more than "plausible". It is out of life. I've never sat for three hours chasing someone through censuses as he changed his middle name to his first and how to spell his last name, so the intention was that when I got cramps because I had forgotten to pee, of course. It was a "friend" of mine. The same who drinks too much and cheats here and there in his income tax.> If you need to be careful about sharing information with those who are not direct descendants. Clear. And those who are DD, just in case I do not know much about genealogy on the Internet. Can be to publish details of the lives of people from ignorance. I can send GEDCOM privitize each one.
