Now, while there be some legitimate and some unlegitimate issues with AOL, here and also before and probably also in the future, I don't think this is the time and place to divulge into a pro or con discussion of AOL. The original message was actually quite balanced, only asking AOL users wishing to unsubscribe NOT to use the SPAM button as this will have unwanted sideeffects. That was not AOL bashing, it was only acknowledging an AOL specific feature and the sideeffects of that feature when missused. What happend after that is just a waste of time and peoples temper, not aiding in the improvement of the groups skills in the art of time anf frequency. So, *PLEASE* drop it.
