	Dave, most of 'em don't even *know* they're "ostracized so
intensely and so often".

	The fact of the matter is that I actively discourage people from
getting AOL accounts, and it's for more reasons than their annoying
antics.

	Nobody has any responsibility to give AOL users everything they
want.  There are plenty of legitimate reasons *to* cut off access from
them, mostly involving their inability to add anything to the net
besides on Usenet and through email.
