One further consideration I plan to point out in my letter of outrage to
Ellis Island-Statue of Liberty Foundation is that using the search mechanism
they have on their page takes a huge amount of on-line time. Checking each
possible spelling only two at a time, entering the dates, entering the
age-range, entering the ship's name, all separately, keeps each user
"attached" to their site for much longer than when using Steve Morse's
all-in-one search. This can easily cause site crashes because more people
will be on at the same time. This does not seem like a plus for them in my
book!
