   Ancestry message folders

   I received an email today saying that Ancestry are removing the folders on   
   the Message Centre page.  Yet another backwards step!   
   I'm sure others, like me, get messages from various contacts and it's the   
   best way to keep them in some sort of order.  I presume that in future they   
   will only be saved in the way that Ancestry wants us to have them.   Some   
   years ago, we used to be able to create on the home page,  "favourite links"   
   to records that we used frequently.   That went!   
   It seems that if it is useful, then they remove it to add something else.   
   Does anyone else feel that Ancestry is moving away from its original concept   
   of genealogy, i.e. searching and recording?
