Yet another reason to Hate AOL

The best way to deal with AOL
is to switch to a real ISP.

Dan,
Your hatred of AOL is evident and on the record. But I dispute your
charactarization that somehow it isn't a REAL ISP, and your provincial attitude
about it is most annoying, because implicit in your commentary is a put-down of
AOL users as somehow less sophisticated or knowledgeable. I resent that.

AOL is not my only portal to the Internet. I have Optimum Online, and
Netscape, Opera, and of course Explorer.

I have built a business identity and invested 9 years in the continuous (and
trademarked) screenname usage. I do not wish to give it up, and doing so
is completely unnecessary, and presents a host of problems with thousands of
correspondents, clients, customers, family, etc.

I lose NOTHING by virtue of maintaining an AOL account (except $14.95/month).
