I'm (obviously) an AOL user.  While I have complaints about the service
currently due to heavy traffic preventing access, I'm willing to give them
a month or two to deal with the problem.  As for the e-mailer, I find that
when I send a message to one of several list servers I subscribe to, I
receive the message back within minutes, not hours as Mr. Norton reports. 
Occassionally, a message lags.  But usually it goes within minutes --
sometimes seconds.
