Does anyone else out there hate Yahoo, especially Geocities? Their ads are
relentless, customer service is non-existant, and replies to complaint and

agree/disagree with me, or am I alone on this subject?

I disagree. I do not hate Yahoo. I admire them.

Customer support costs money, and it costs a LOT of money to do well. That
they can give you any at all for a free to you service, for an advertiser
supported service, and still make money is nothing short of miraculous, and
therefore admirable.

But I suspect you are not alone in complaining about something that's free
(except for the time you spend reading ads).

What the hell is this,

Check the LUGNET Terms of Service....
(http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/agreement )
specifically point 5 of discussion group terms and conditions...

a Yahoo PR statement?

Nope.

Looks like the same crap I get
when I make a comment to Yahoo about themselves. You work for Yahoo or
something?

Nope.

You obviously have never had a site, free or not, hosted by
Geocities.

Wrong again. Check your assumptions.
