The ONLY reason that AOL bashing SHOULDN'T happen is that SOME AOL'ers
SHOULDN'T be so BLOODY FUCKING STUPID!!! But that ridiculous so-called
"service" shouldn't be so assinine that they don't educate their users
and tell them everything they are NOT getting and everything they CAN'T do,
and then see that this is the reason they attract significantly more
IGNORANT ASSHOLES to their ranks. *I* know their not ALL that way! I speak
to intelligent AOL'ers all the time, often to apprise them of better net
access providers, but also in normal and sane communications. But AOL has
attracted these other weenies themselves! It is NOT a coincidence!
