OT- just to add my 2c about geocities...

I'm not particularly thrilled with this other aspect of them, either...

FTC SAYS WEB SITE LIED ABOUT PRIVACY ASSURANCES
The Web site Geocities, accused by the Federal Trade Commission of
falsely assuring two million subscribers that their personal information
was not being disclosed to others, has agreed to post its privacy policy
on the site and to discourage children under 13 from using the site
without parental permission.  The new privacy statement, which admits
that the company releases personally identifiable information on its
subscribers, is reachable from a link on the Geocities home page.
