I received this snotty e-mail about why Geocities had decided to play God and pull the plug on my website:

When it first went off line, I thought it might be because I’d posted ‘Conkers’ – but no, Smut is just fine. It was because I was linking. The link they are talking about is my blog – so basically it your fault *Laugh* I wasn’t a happy bunny, I only moved my blog because they offered the service on their website manager – a link to their own blog site, by the way. Well aren’t I the stupid one? – fancy thinking that as it was on their page builder I could actually use it. So stuff you Geocities *blows raspberry*. I’ve taken my custom elsewhere.

The website is a bit rushed I’m afraid, still trying to get use to tripod. I also installed Microsoft Front Page – which I brought years ago to teach myself how to build a website – then lost the nerve and it’s been in the cupboard ever since.

So I’m back to it and will ‘blog’ later.
