I am talking with the reporter, Ted Bridis. Associated Press reporters are under about as tough a deadline as TV, so it's a good fast first pass.
I think the thing which needs to be gotten across to the general public (and the decision makers) is the SiteFinder service itself was NOT shut down. The redirection to the SiteFinder service was what was shut down. This was done because this redirection is believed to have adverse side effects. The way things are being painted it seems that the SiteFinder service was turned off and there is nothing further from the truth. bye, ken emery
