No it isn't!  If you look, at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/
, you will find that the second line in the box entitled 'Description'
says, 'Member of The Indo-European Database', with the last three
words underlined.  You should be able to find out from your browser,
without left-clicking on them, that they form a hyperlink to
http://www.indoeuropean.net .  (If you use Internet Explorer,
right-click and look at 'properties'.)  Behold the URL!

Richard, I did follow the yellow brick link at Cybalist and got to "kiddie porn".  I then tried the hyperlink at indoeuropean and guess what!  Kiddle porn again.  So, I now see what happened at indoeuropean.net.  Guess Cyril didn't pay.  Any idea where Cyril is?  Is he ill or something?
