I am one who pulled my pages at the time of the merger with geocities and yahoo! I didn't want geocities-yahoo! to have perpetual ownership of my images. Anyway they DID change their mind...only after many many complaints. I personally think that what happened is the lawyers wrote a really restrictive TOS to see how that would fly...(thinking no one would notice I am sure). Lo and behold they got buried in their emails to change the policy etc. Read section 7 at this link for details: http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/geoterms.html gck (I had to have an excuse anyway to think up of a new web page for myself anyway, so my new stuff has yet to be posted)
