Well yeah, pretty much?
- tptacek 1mo agoMy problem here isn't Blackstone (unless we're talking about housing, where anti-Blackstone slopulism will set me off, because I'm a housing activist, IDGAF about PE), it's that people have a weirdly high opinion of pre-change-of-control Ancestry.com. Ancestry is terrible! This is all highly on brand for Ancestry, the Experts Exchange of geneology.
