No need to apoligize, I wasn't using you for a whipping post for the evil
underbelly of AOL. Like I said, I don't have anything against the decent and
honest AOL subscribers, but, the very dark and negative side of AOL that
I've been victimized by has cast an extremely dark impression on me
regarding anything to do with them.
I have even been a subscriber of it several times since the early 90s as
well. I just didn't like their interface, and, navigation, I felt, was
atrocious. I don't know how it has been for the past 5 or 6 years but the
events of the last two years have adversely affected me and I am certainly
not too appreciative of the lax operation of that entity. In fact, I nearly
cringe every time I've heard or read some blustery bull excrement or
advertisement touting their dubious product.
