A lot of people make noise about AOL people being dumb. A lot of people also feel that the internet is theirs and how dare normal human beings get accounts and use the Internet. These are the dumb people - wasting their time complaining about others because they are insecure about their own place in the world. It's simple: computers are not just for super smart and rich people any more. AOL is one of the best providers of error messages - just look (here we go again) at those gee-whiz-bang un*x systems (you know, the ones that have those unchangeable 4-hour warning messages) who need people with degrees to program them (when they are not crashing for this or that). Give me AOL anyday - with someone who actually reads what we write and tries to do something about it AND instructs their users on what not to do to upset people on the net. At least they try, which is more than I can say for some Universities and Companies that just close ranks if you even boo at them from 25 miles away ... AOL has more users (and thus will send more bounces) than any University I know of. Bill is right ... and we should give 'em a break! ** ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** ** Geert K.
