While I don't want to stereotype an entire subset of the net-user
community, my personal experience is that AOL is short for A**hOLe.
This is experience not just with c.s.m.a. but also other news-groups
that I frequent.  My postings usually don't attract flames on the net; 
AOLers send me emails with foul language in reply to what I've written.

ok, that's different.  if that's been your experience, i guess i can't 
argue with that.  i guess i can't argue regarding the aol'er who feels he 
has a greater right to the internet because he pays either.  but i'm 
inclined to believe a good number of them aren't like this; maybe it's 
those people who don't bother with the internet, I don't know.

What dost thee write that causes this influx of curse-infested hate-mail?
By the way, this thread was cross-posted to c.s.a.a. Why, I haven't a
clue. Well, for good measure...

AOL doesn't suck, Amigas rule, and Anime is wonderful. There. Might
someone please remove this offensive thread from Comp.Sys.Amiga.Advocacy,
please?
