Ralf,
What makes you think the scam is about to hit the fan? I have seen nothing to that effect. I believe Tom was brought in becaues of his ticket master experience not in spite of it and doubt if his departure will change much. The closest thing I have seen was when Ancestry started telling monthly subscribers fall 2003 that they had committed for a year and "out of the goodness" of their hearts they would let them out of the committment for a $50 cancellation fee. There was nothing on their website that clearly stated the yearly committment or the $50 cancellation fee. Not long after it was "clarified" (see link) The monthly subscriptions through the front door disappeared.

I already have hearing aids. I have been diagnosed wuth Trigeminal Neuralgia caused by surgery for a tumor that the Drs. couldn't find. As a result my hearing is very poor because I can't wear my hearing aids and my left ear is extremely painful at times, Thank you very much. I asked a simple question in response to your post and don't appreciate a smart ass answer.
I saw nothing in what I read of the Ticketmast/Time credit card abuse case that included names. I don't know if Tom left Ticketmaster before the stink, because of the stink, or as part of the agreements reached at the time. Do you?
Since Tom left MFI rapidly and the employee's were quietly told, this suggests to me he was asked to leave. I have seen nothing that indicates the scam is about to hit the fan and I don't see his departure as an indication of this. I can delete the link to your web site pretty fast.

Hi Ralf,
I had forgotten about his hearing aid company that I had read about in his bio so the inference went over my head. I interpeted it to mean something entirely different. I did not interpret it as related to my hearing and ear problems though because there is no way you could know but recent severe problems have made me a little sensitive in that area so I got a little hot under the collar. Now that you have reminded me of his hearing aid company, I realize I was wrong and apologize for my response. I sure do not want to debate you, you would bury me.
That only makes me believe even more though that he was hired to do just what he did. MFI had to know. Has he bailed out for the third time or being kicked out. From the links below it looks like Sonic's trouble was fror a period of time he was at Ticketmaster.

It is also sad that a company and those in bed with it have discarded any ethics in the process, including particularly those that are so worried about the survival of Rootsweb. Of course the auto-renewal and acquirement of Rootsweb was before Tom. I think he certainly fine tuned the tactics with the satellites, very large number of links to Ancestry, increase in number of subscriptions available and the movement away from outside ads for some financing to in-house ads and subscriptions carrying the load. Lets not forget OWT and all those links to Ancestry and AWT being relegated to a link on the OWT page. When the "preliminary" was released last year all those in bed with Ancestry proclaimed it was not just a search engine but included a stitcher and subscribers were paying for the convenence. Now a year later they are asking for help on fixing. Oh the stitcher is broken, we can fix OWT by removing seems to be the answer. So what is OWT now? OWT is still nothing but an end run around the promise that AWT (and WC) would always be free.
Rootsweb was acquired before Tom though so you are probably right that he was brought in to take them public as well.

Hey Ralf,
Do you answer those in bed with MFI. I don't waste my time. If you do please explain it to him what I said. He does not seem to be able to understand.

guest, if your so paranoid about this magazine subscription, why didn't you just tell them to cancel the whole thing and stop sending magazines? By allowing them to send you two more issues you've just prolonged your agony.
