Add lycos to the list of failing businesses
Just got a rather badly worded letter from them saying their cutting their web hosting services.
When I say badly worded, it reads like they are blaming me for being them being unprofitable

this thread goes to show why Lycos are going to the wall. As everyone is obviously more interested in the grammer of the original posters message than Lycos's business
Seriously though, how many people use them to search these days?
