INTERNET PROVIDER GEOCITIES REMOVES NOTS FROM HOMEPAGE

The mirror at Geocities is now closed by Geocities. They
claim, like my provider did, that Co$ "furnished evidence
of ownership". How easy some are scared. I'm happy to say
that I know many that are not, and I will make Co$ spend
_LOTS_ of money on lawyers etc before the final kill.
Those lawyers are going to get damn rich, probably them
that tells Co$ to sue everybody. HAHA

CLAMS READING THIS: WHY HAVEN'T YOUR LAWYER IN NORWAY
                    CONTACTED ME, DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS 
                    WITH YOUR LAWYER????????? I BET YOU
                    HAVE!!! OR ARE YOU JUST COWARDS?
