Thinking same way means that mail and news reader should be also separated. 
I wish this to be true but I think this is simple marketing - you download 
and get all-in-one package. So I think it is same with AOL/ICQ - it is all 
about who will get money for the ads, that's why I don't expect to see ICQ 
in Mozilla/Netscape in any near future. 

Asking AOL to include ICQ is like asking MS to include Netscape as browser
