Strange that, I got the same mail, except _direct from geocities_!.
Strangely enough, it was for me. But I never heard of geocities...

I suspect someone looked over my shoulder when I was typing my dialup
password, and then forgot whose account they were using when they signed
up for goecities...

BTW, does anyone know how to kill a geocities account...;)
