FYI...seems like Yahoo/Geocities is "stealing" from the folks who post web
content on their Geocities web sites...

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.

There are many genealogy sites at Yahoo/Geocities
If you have your site there, Yahoo/Geocities stole your site and
declared them their own. Including your copyrights and refusal to pay
royalties to you.
Feel free to circulate this message to other lists not receiving this
