Ken,
I agree. In fact, the only reason I'm staying with my ISP-provided webspace
is that I don't want to have to start over being found by the search engines
again (although my Google ranking...under "GNLD" has slipped out of the top 20
this past year, but it's still pretty high with Yahoo). Also, my email address
has been around for nine years. I do have my own domain (www.teamone.net) for
a business site I'm starting to build. Then I'll have more control over things.
