People move around alot. And with the ever changing face of the net, there are going to be a number of times that people will move their sites and e-mail addresses. I think everybody should have some sort of free web-mail so their addresses don't change. The sites are a little different since service varies so greatly across the different services. Angelfire is pretty good.
Fortune city is the pits.
But there's one that takes the cake. I just can't think of it right now. The next time someone submits a URL from there I'll remeber. So when folks are starting out, they might have had an AOL page. Once they became sick of the AOL frame, they happened upon Geocities.
