Giving LDS the records (knowing that the LDS will then use them for "posthumous baptisms") might be seen as recognising the legitimacy said "posthumous baptisms". In fact, the Church considers any LDS "baptism" to be invalid, spurious, null-and-void, utterly without effect ...

Then they ought not be concerned about this. Why not just let the LDS people play their little baptism games? Who is it going to hurt?

Then what is there to fear in our doing them? The church has done a great public service in gathering genological information, putting it in digital format and making it available to the world. If they think proxy baptism we do are pointless, what reason is there to try and stop us from doing it? Objecting like this does far more to portray it as legitimate then ignoring it would.
