I recall that it had to do with the copyright on the software or template used for the website, which was 2006. The question came up in other forums as well.

If you do a WHOIS search for findmadeleine.com you can see the registration history...

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=findmadeleine.com

The domain name findmadeleine.com was first registered on May 10, 2007.

It's currently hosted on godaddy.com... but I'm not sure that was the original host. I think it was another.

Don't worry about it UT. This case has enough information to fill a dozen encyclopedias'..........trying to remember every detail is impossible.

Thank you for being so forgiving, TTWO - I can only hope russian doll will be similarly inclined if she should read my recent posts on this thread ~~and elsewhere~~ pray2

and thank you, too, C12 for providing what is perhaps the only piece of irrefutable evidence in this case.

My apologies to those readers I may have mislead through posting inaccurate information. Nevertheless, I still incline to the view that Madeleine's disappearance was premeditated and that it was planned prior to the holiday.

A tiny wee bit left over then...

Criminal ineptitude is popular in some circles.

* When David Miliband became the first Cabinet minister to launch an online diary a few months back, he boldly declared that he intended to "bridge the gap between politicians and the public". What Miliband failed to mention was just how much the "blog" would be costing the British taxpayer.

According to research by the Liberal Democrats' urbane front bencher, Chris Huhne, the amount is somewhere approaching £40,000 a year.

Huhne has come to this whopping figure after tabling a written question to the recently promoted Environment Secretary's office earlier this month to ask what sort of manpower was involved in maintaining the site. He was told that two members of staff employed by Defra had recently dedicated as much as 40 per cent of their office time working on it.

So far, claims Huhne, this also means the blog has cost around £1 a word to upkeep. "How can it cost £40,000 a year of taxpayers' money for staff to capture David Miliband's hot air on climate change?" he says.

Circa £40K was obviously a fashionable amount to spend on a website in the mid noughties.
