ROFL!
Again, I see that AOL doesn't want to take responsibility. "Well, if
you were as big as us -- you couldn't do anything either!" ROFL!
Thanks! I need a good laugh, today. Brad, you seem to have the same
mindset as AOL. In fact, your email is a prime example of AOL's
mindset. Simply stated, you don't want to take responsibility for
your actions. It's everyone else's fault but yours. "No one else can
do this or is doing this, so why should we?"
ROFL!
Thanks for proving what we all suspected.

Ahh, worthy of a good politician. Mis-direct the conversation to
something irrelevant. ROFL!

oooo, a threat! ROFL!
Thanks, I have already taken those steps. As noted in a previous
email, I had a long discussion with the person who maintains the
AOL's directory of lists. It took awhile to be removed but we finally
did. But not after AOL trying to convince us how much we "needed"
them and how much we would benefit from their subscribers.
Again, illusions of gradeur. You assume AOL is "needed". It's not.
The Internet was here before AOL and it will be here after after AOL
follows the way of Prodigy, Genie and others.
Thanks for the entertaining email, Brad. Much appreciated. 8)
