It is, I believe, part of the terms of agreement under which they purchased Rootsweb from Brian Leftkowitz. Don't know the exact terms, but I believe that they have to keep Rootsweb up and running more or less in perpetuity as a free service. But I agree with the sentiment. Bill- Unless you have read the agreement between RootsWeb and the then MyFamily.com (and copies of the agreement are closely and privately held--so I doubt you have a copy) it is probably not wise to speculate on the terms. Also, RootsWeb's founders and original owners are Brian LEVERICH and his wife, Karen ISAACSON.
