Gerald, I think you missed Kathy Gill's point entirely when she said:

And you replied:

Her comment wasn't about your site, it was about GeoCities sites in
general compared to personal pages located on university servers. The
idea of ruling out sites that contain a tilde is a far more ridiculous
thought than ruling out the crap that many (not yours) GeoCities sites
contain.

So here's a solution: let's not rule out either because the reality is
that the gold anyone is looking for when searching can possibly be found
on any flavor of site at all.

Boil it down further: there's no easy way to do this. No magic search
criteria. There are so many variables and all of them determined by the
first variable: the thing you're looking for. Eliminating any source
because of the type of server it's on is a bad idea.
