   Aldo-Pier, you are over-generalizing.  My list has 20 AOL subscribers
and 2 COMPUSERVE subscribers.  It is the CompuServe subscribers who are
likely to generate the DISK QUOTA EXCEEDED error messages; in fact I
received a number of such messages relating to one CompuServe subscriber
earlier today.
