An "amusing" outcome of the article in Times... I was driving home from work
the other day and those two obnoxious talk radio hosts "Dave & Ken" (I
think) started discussing doing genealogy on the internet. Well, it led to
all sorts of rude comments about their ancestors and not wanting to claim
them, etc... in the midst of it all, though, they managed to plug ROOTSWEB!
They were amazed that over a million pieces of e-mail about genealogy was
generated by some odd folks at some odd place called RootsWeb! I got a big
kick out of it!

We're famous...
