Between them I got two porn ads and a get rich quick scheme. Since I do not visit porn sites and the only get rich quick scheme I have is waiting on a rich relative to die <g>, I believe that every time we give out our e-mail address we make a greater risk for ourselves. This is an area that I believe if the Internet doesn't police itself "Big Brother" eventually will. As for Geocities ughhh! I despise those people. Sorry and please don't take offense if you use their pages. Their new pop up pages that will not allow the user page to load if you close it before it finishes has a known bug. Geocities knows about it. After visiting a Geocities page with the new popup AOL 4.0 will crash. This is also true with IE 4.0. Keep in mind that this is with their latest version of pop up.
