I expect you're right on both accounts!
Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your work and the few free services that remain on the web.
My site is strictly not-for-profit, and (sorry for the bragging) it helps thousands of visitors a day. Yet now days some search engines won't list it without my paying fees which I can't afford.
Someday I hope the people that use those search engines realize that they are only finding companies trying to sell them something. And missing some really good sites, like mine. Haha.
Thanks again so much, Peter
