The following is the message as I recieved it from the person
responsible for the web site. I won't name him here, but if you
personally want to know who he is Rich, then please say and I'll ask him
to send you the details.

There you have it. I have also had a look at the lost password page on
geocities, and I can't see anyway of possibly finding out who was
responsible. It is a simple case of selecting the address and clicking
go. I understand that this could be an accidental mistake on the behalf
of some Geocities customer, but I feel that that would be a bit too much
of a coincedence.
