I've noticed that myself. I suspect that part of it is that AOL
advertises itself as a way to use email and the internet without having
to learn much. When subscribers are told over and over that they
shouldn't have to worry their pretty little heads about that big, bad
internet out there some of them start to believe it. And to be told that
perhaps they should look beyond the safety of AOL if they want to receive
all of their mail is very threatening. The result is denial and defense
of AOL.
