So, how many intellegent AOLers are there? The fact you defend AOL and 
have an AOL email address in your .sig kills your credibility. If AOL is 
so great, then why did you post from an ISP? Personally, anyone willing 
to put up with iron-fisted censorship that enforces misspelling of half 
the dictionary has to be bloody stupid.

As far as your comment about low intellegence in USENET, I must ask you this:

Why are you reading a flame group?

I got so fed up with AOLers that I killfiled them all in my newsreader 
and emailbox, and blocked them from my web page. Go away.
