Evil bastages (Yahoo! GeoCities, not you)!  Blyeah, ptui!  Not only do they
fail to give an automatic forward to the new URL via the HTTP 'Location:'
header, but in the error page they display, they don't even give a clickable
link to it the hard way, and they don't even tell a visitor how to modify
the URL by deleting the "~".  Methinks the only thing GeoCities is concerned
about here is signing up new users.  :-/

Thanks for posting about this, Ed...I'll bet millions of links out there on
the web are all now hopeless broken.

Geocities changed their naming conventions. Any links to my website will need to be reset. Simply delete the tilda, "~", before edboxer ("www.geocities.com/...lego.html" to "www.geocities.com/e...go.html"). (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.town, lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce)
