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
