"BAD NEWS: The more popular RootsWeb becomes, the more costly it is to simply stay alive and online. Expenses continue to exceed revenue. We ran up a truly scary loss last year. Without outside help, it's not clear how long we'd be able to go on like this." Above is a quote from the article on the "merger" (ie, buyout) of Rootsweb found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/merge.html To me it seems like Ancestry.com is being made the hero by saving Rootsweb from disastrous losses. Because they understand the importance of the community that Rootsweb developed. Uh-hu, this coming from a web site that charges people to look at census indexes and other things that are here for FREE. Wonder how long it'll take before a tiny itty bitty change here and there begins. So do I have to take my "sponsered by Rootsweb" .jpg down now? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
