Hallo Team,
natuerlich konnte ich die Sache mit Broderbund so nicht hinnehmen, ohne der Firma mein persönliches Missfallen deutlich zu machen, ueber die Art und Weise, in der speziell ich mich hintergangen fuehle.
Verstaendlich.
work your group has performed. We will leave the link in place in the short term as you request and perhaps work out an agreement that is mutually beneficial?
"In the short term". Damit die Suchmaschinen es nicht merken und dann ins Verderben rennen.
What we currently are really angry with is, that OUR contents, which has been written by volounters in their free time for fun and with enthusiam, is linked all over the world many thousand times. In all search engines OUR contents/pages are indexed. All links will now reference to the new forthcoming Broderbund website and we, the team, which has established the contents, has worked years for free for YOUR companies interest.
Und wenn ihnen das bisher noch nicht klar war, dann ist es das spaetestens jetzt.
Or did you have had other things in mind? Will you leave us a place on http://www.genealogy.com/gene (at least for a short time period) to show, that it is not your intent to kick us in the ass and that your interest was more than getting only the domain name, but (as you stated before) a cooperation?
Wollen wir das ueberhaupt? Was sollen wir mit Seiten, auf die wir keinen Zugriff mehr haben? Ich bin nach wie vor fuer die Loeschung. Damit wir *jetzt* den Leuten sagen koennen, die Seiten auf genealogy.com gibt's nicht mehr. Arthur.Teschler@uni-giessen.de
