Trash in the geocities guest book

It's flattering that people appreciate your amateur free geocities presonal web site. But the feeling becomes annoyance once you find out that they're just those who abuse dynamic content to advertise their profound ring tones. Sadly yahoo doesn't seem to have plans to fix that as they suggest using third party guestbook services like bravenet. Go to hell spam generators!!!

Well, it's annoying!
