Also, files that are not interactively used for viewing your site in GeoCities, such as a free-standing bookmarks, passwords lists or address books will be construed as using the homestead a storage and they will eventually be sent to oblivion once discovered.
Liaisons have a tool which could view all the hidden files in one's directory in GeoCities, thus there is no way that a file you only know about will not be discovered by a GeoCities Liaison or the members of the Alert Team. Thus "My Hidey Hole in Cyberspace" is non-existent. Anybody with a browser and enough Internet knowledge could circumvent the system and view those hidden files.
If only Mr. Paul Peczon researched as much information before he wrote that article, I would have not written this e-mail, which I'm sure will be thrown into the delete bin because of being too critical.
Personally, I felt slighted that Mr. Peczon, who I assume to have signed-up for any free homepage host that he could get into and upload his data secrets or stash important files, would be so inconsiderate of people, specifically volunteer GeoCities Community Leaders, making their virtual community as clean as possible. Although community leadership is about volunteerism, I believe, and my co-CLs would likely agree, that we do work hard and try to be as efficient as we can be. Among the free hosts, only GeoCities has a reliable, well-organized volunteer team of people making GeoCities rid of unwanted elements.
