All publishers have an opinion page where the management can express their beliefs and opinions.
Internet publications are no exception. The publisher of the Wimberly Family Genealogy feels the following genealogy problems need to be addressed in order to provide for a free-flowing exchange of information between genealogists on the internet. It is ironic the purchase came during the anti-trust trial of Microsoft by the US Department of Justice. Especially when America Online made a decision in 1996 to utilize Microsoft Internet Explorer as their browser of choice for their customers. My theory is Bill Gates of Microsoft had something to do with the purchase.
