Let me start by saying that I have no particular love for AOL. AOL has proven to be a real PITA for me several times (including necessitating my putting together a Windoz box to access one of their accounts for business purposes).
However, having said that, I believe that AOL is a 'responsible' ISP and even though they have 'more than their share' of problem accounts it is clear that they do (and have for many years) taken action against abusers on their systems. In addition, I have seen (what I think) is a proportionally large number of email spam messages with an AOL account or source forged into the headers. In addition, I have personally received many messages from AOL concerning abuse reports and while I can not prove the assertions, it certainly looks to me as though AOL does try to prevent abuse of their system. -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: "The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!"
