Hello Aereemi,

This doesn't seem to be a FreeBSD problem, but a problem with the web
cache your web browser is using. You should contact your ISP and/or
the cache administrator at the email below:

> Your cache administrator is webmaster@skannet.com.


Regards,
Brad Davis

Close this PR as the described problem is/was not a FreeBSD problem. 
(The link to Yahoo is fine and the error message points to the ISP cache 
of the sender of this PR.)
