Dear sucker who gives us your money, Thank you for contacting America Online's Community Action Team concerning junk or "spam" e-mail. Please be assured America Online does not care if this type of e-mail is sent or if anyone assists in its distribution. Please review our Unsolicited Bulk E-mail Policy at Keyword Member Agreement . Where we have taken the time to type a bunch of garbage for everyone to waste their time reading. You can help by forwarding junk e-mails to AOL so that we can laugh over it and the fact that you are the target of it. If you receive an e-mail violation, please forward it directly to the screen name TOSReports. Where it will be read and one of our form e-mails will be sent back to you (such as this one) AOL members are subject to written warnings or even account termination. Which we really don't do as we want everyones money, if you complain long enough however we will bribe you into staying with free months. If you are using the 8.0 version of AOL, you really are stupid and beyond help. Simply don't bother us with any of your "problems" we don't care and don't want to hear about it. Here at AOL we always filter the e-mail we view in our e-mail box. We may choose to read mail from "Everyone," or only mail from e-mail addresses in our address book. Mail from "unknown senders" are collected in another folder, so we may view the mail at our leisure, or not at all, which is what we usually do. If you are using the 7.0 or higher version of AOL, e-mail from the Internet will be identified with a message that states, "Sent from the Internet (Details)." Whatever you do, DON'T click on the Details hyperlink. We don't want you finding out that there are much better ISP's out there. Keep in mind that the "headers" and the "from" and "to" information on the Internet e-mail you receive can be manipulated to look as if the e-mail originated from AOL, from a legitimate site on the Internet, or even as though your screen name sent the e-mail to itself. If "@aol.com" appears after your screen name on the e-mail you receive, it was sent via the Internet, most likely by someon who caught onto our rotten way of doing business and has found a way to make us look bad. America Online is working on many fronts -- both technological and legal -- to find even more ways to screw people like you and our other customers out of their money. Currently AOL delivers almost 50 million pieces of e-mail each day to AOL members. Similar to this one in which we just give our usual answers no matter what the question is. Advances by AOL Technologies have enabled us to screw 8-10 million people out of their monthly fee instead of going with a cheaper, better ISP. America Online puts technological tools into the hands of the slightly trained monkeys who answer our phones. At Keyword Mail Controls they are now learning to block all e-mail's from our dissatisfied members, the monkeys are now learning how to choose from several other options which are listed. If you have children who are receiving offensive spam e-mail be sure to visit Keyword Parental Controls. This is however, a waste of your time. Kids have learned how to get around any controls you set. Here at America Online we are trying to keep that a secret. On the legal front, we're working to make our member agreement so vauge that no one will be able to understand it so our monkey's won't have to answer so many calls. We've gone so far as to have most of your calls answerd in forgien countrys so that our members can't understand a thing that is said. The Company has successfully duped millions of people into wasting money on us. We'll keep up the legal pressure in the future. At Keyword MONKEY you will find the latest tips on how to get the most out of your wasted phone calls to us, as well as updates on America Online's efforts to train the monkeys less and less. If you have any comments or questions please go to Keyword TOS Questions. Regards, Turk CAT monkey America Online, Inc.
