I just finished reading a fun post by my buddy WebGuerrilla (that’s the terrorist not the monkey to you n00bs and it’s 2 r’s and 2 l’s for those of you that have spell check turned off…) and figured this is newsworthy so I’d get on the bandwagon.
In my opinion BT clearly wants to have WMW delisted entirely as per the following quote from the thread linked above:

The solution he’s talking about is an internal search tool and he’s clearly indicating that he expects the site out of the engines within 60 days.
