As I understand it Yshoo wants only to move theGeocities sites to a larger server and
needs to acess the web pages in order to accomplish the task. Better service and access.

I know this is off the subject, but I thought others should be aware (if
not already) about this. This is very upsetting to me. I tried to edit
my pages and could not do it because I won't agree that all the work
will be OWNED BY THEM. Take heed.
