The following came from Megan, the USGW National Coordinator. I tried to
send this a couple days ago, but the message bounced in two tries.
I hope everyone had a great holiday. :)

Please forward to cc's:
Because of USGenWeb's commitment to free access and free net use, we'd
like to avoid even the appearance of commercial sites.
Since Geocities has taken to inserting commercials into site access,
I'd like to heavily encourage any county coordinators whose USGW sites
are on Geocities to move them....there's Rootsweb, USRoots, Angelfire
and probably other options out there that are much more polite.
An additional issue is that the more sophisticated Geocities makes
access to their server, the more complaints we get from users about
Geocities sites....because the flashier it gets, the more users who
can't, for whatever reason, access it.
That said, all I have left to say is:
Go out there and have a pleasant holiday season, celebrate in
moderation, and let's have a great 1998.
