It seems that Lycos is trying to profit from the disaster by pointing user to a double-click redirect page and mass mailing users the link. My proxy blocks double-click and I was not able to view the actual page. I do not recommend visiting the link below, but only to inform everyone of the tactics used by businesses to get hits in which they profit from a terrible situation on this day of mourning. jay ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 21:01:38 +0000 From: Lycos Support <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Latest Tragedy Information on Lycos To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Lycos Members, On behalf of the entire Lycos staff, I wish to offer our sincerest condolences to all those affected by the terrorist acts of September 11, and praise and recognition to all the rescue workers and volunteers who gave blood and donated their time to help in the aftermath.
