I'm Sorry that Kendal had to deal with someone that doesn't understand that N numbers sometimes get re-issued hence the aircraft with an N number that he was parting out was also flying.

could have just been a simple No, I don't feel comfortable doing that and not a lecture to Mark (and the club).
First, it's not providing "alternative information" as the FAA should be notified anytime a plane is scrapped and no longer registered. It's just another location to find the information that the FAA already has.
Second, as George pointed out, we are THE Cessna 150-152 Club and as a such, we try to be the "go to" source for all information related to the Cessna 150/152. With that idea in mind, we try to collect as much information, data and minutiae about these aircraft as we possibly can.
Third, Because someone doesn't feel something is valuable others might find that information valuable. This collection of data is a continuation of what the last 2 owners of the club had started. You may not see a benefit to it but others do.
the comment that nobody has appointed you to do, by the way is out of line as you have no idea if someone asked Mark (and the club) for this information or not.

With the thought process of not providing info would mean that we should not post ADs, answer questions on maintenance or other info with fear of opening ourselves up to liability by providing alternative information. that would certainly be the end of Type Clubs.

Again, a simple No, I don't feel comfortable doing that would have sufficed.
