Joan, Mob rule? - tell that to those who have their sites NOT at Rootsweb/Ancestry but elsewhere. They were outraged, equally-wise because even if it was free, the cached links still strong imply to visitors it's a Ancestry-owned, when it is not. The links are still very wrong-url linked. And I was reading the comments from some of data center managers about the differences between Google and Ancestry. They were saying what Ancestry did and still do is wrong. (still do - because there's this Obituary collection, too - same issues.)
