You can't really mean that. The problem is on AOL's end. CF Server now 
accommodates the problems on AOL's end. Do you honestly want Allaire to get 
accounts with every major ISP so they can check to see if the ISP's stupid 
procedures mess up the sites? I used to work at a hosting company and the 
focus was on video hosting. Every time we had a broadcast, we would get 
inundated with tech support calls from AOL users asking us why our site was 
broken. You can't imagine how many times I had to explain to people exactly 
why they needed to get a real ISP. AOL uses cached proxy servers and it is 
bad bad bad.

The really funny calls were the AOL users who said "What do you mean you 
don't do tech support for AOL? You're the Internet, right?"
