AOL does not care about AOL's paying customers. What makes you think they care about AIM users? FYI: If you have an old computer laying around with AOL installed and you give it away to a poor family to help their children and one of those children discover that AOL icon and click it, a message pops up saying "Would you like to reactivate this screen name? (providing the password is stored - a very common occurance)" This means that anyone, including a your child can simply click "ok" and YOUR credit card will begin to be billed each month without your consent or knowledge. If that is not bad enough, ANYONE can then "spin off" (an AOL term) another account, which means YOUR credit card will then get double billed, one bill for each account. According to AOL this is "legal and acceptable". When will people realize that AOL is not worth the effort and begin blocking ALL AOL e-mail and proxy servers? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
