For those that have sites on XOOM or Tripod, read those TOSs as well.  They
have the same type of  wording.  As a matter of fact, if you read the TOS for
Tripod and XOOM the wording is almost identical to that of Yahoo.  A lot of
those "free" sites throw that in and a lot of people don't read the fine
print.  I posted a previous message to see if anyone knew of any other "free"
sites that don't do this( I read Fortunecity's and they don't seem to have
those terms) .  I got one response for a European company called YI . If
anyone finds others, I mentioned before that I would be willing to put
together a list and perhaps post it here (or on a website ) once a month for
newcomers or for those looking for alternative sites if anyone is interested.

Cheers,
Donna

Change the "XOOM" to "Tripod" and they're nearly the same.  I'm sure a bunch
of others do this as well.
