"Dont pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" comes to mind.

This is the answer I got to my e.mail - Thank you for taking the time to write to us. We understand some of the people using the site prefer the old name to Genes Reunited. The change is just one of the things we're doing to make it easier for people who haven't yet caught the genes bug to understand what the site does. The Friends Reunited link is important to attracting new enthusiasts - which in turn makes the site better for the current users. The name change was genuinely the product of research we did and it seemed to make sense to us. Rest assured, the team here is dedicated to making Genes Reunited better and better - attracting new users, with new trees is part of this. Hope you understand - again, thanks for your valuable comments. Regards Sandra Well who did they ask ? It was'nt the folk who use and pay for the site ! Says it all realy - just another cosmetic touch up without adressing peoples real problems with the site. Having said that you only have to trawl the boards to see what a brilliant site this realy is - it would be a pity to see it go under. Sue

There is an old jewish saying, that may turn out to be very appropriate: do not piss in the cash register, it runs into money !
