I didn't say avoid it. I said beware. Besides, there ARE alternatives. Bob could get his own website - the domain name could be his own choosing - for $9 per month. I don't know Bobs' financial situation, but it's hard to get more reasonable that this. Of course, depending on the size of the site and the number of hits per month, it could run more. Although I've been subscribed to Ancestry for years, I don't like their business tactics and we don't have to support them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lindel" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:15 AM Subject: [DONEGAL] Re:Beware Bob's website? > Hi!
