Actually, you seem to be missing the point. (In 'you' I include a large number of people who flame AOL users as 99.999% "lamers.") There are a *huge* number of intelligent people on AOL, who have a lot to contribute. But due to the unwelcome and general low intelligence standards evidenced on Internet groups, the more intelligent users stay away. Internet has a treasure trove of resources, but of USENET very little is actually useful. I wouldn't give up the parenting chat on AOL for an IRC channel, because I can count on the people on the chat on AOL to be responsible and to contribute, whereas on an IRC channel, a bunch of lame surfers tend to come in and act juvenile. -- +--------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Jeff Medcalf | medcalf@interlock.dfw.ibm.com | I not only don't speak | | CTG-Dallas | JKMedcalf@aol.com | for IBM, I don't even | | | | KNOW who speaks for IBM. | +--------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Go not unto the USENET for counsel, for they will say both NO and YES | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
