What sort of accommodation could be made? It would be wrong to say that a page was valid when it was not. It wouldn't be possible to reliably detect that page was modified by the hosting service, nor would it be particularly useful to say "Well, this page would be valid, but the service provider has been at it". > Is there any authoritative source on the prevalence of this abysmal > practice of Yahoo!? Or a way to block their effect? Paying hosts money usually seems to do the job. Switching to an alternative host is a decent alternative. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
