Clarification of "share" since to some, that is the act of making the information available to others.

What is the best way to benefit from shared trees without copy and pasting?

Once one gets so far back in their tree, one finds ancestors in common with other researchers. It is all too tempting to collect information by copy and paste information from another researcher's tree, but this becomes a problem if you find the link was in error or the research inaccurate at a later date.

How should one take advantage of information in another's tree without making a verbatim copy that soon becomes difficult to manage?
