> Are you sure you want to be posting those poems on geocities? From what I hear, they have laid claim to the ownership of any and all material that appears on any of the web sites they sponsor. Intellectual thievery, if you ask me. Unless I misunderstand, were I you I'd pack up and move right out of geocities. Other places offer free web sites without such ridiculous terms (but geocities isn't the only one now, so be careful).

Actually, I'm a Community Leader in SoHo, and we got up in arms over the whole Section 8 of the new TOS (the one that gave them grabbing rights). I agree with you - 'twas nothing less than thievery, and all of my content quickly came off of my web site. We staged a big old protest (the Haunting), and eventually they relented. The TOS have been changed - I've thrown you a link to the new ones.

No, it's still not a perfect setup, but it's survivable. And, as a CL, a feel a bit of responsibility to stay on. So, in YahGeoHooties! I remain for now, though I am setting up a site on crosswinds as well.
