I don't know if that is his response, but it sure is mine.  If he is offering
a service with no conditions or responsibilities, he can pretty much do as he
pleases.  Why should he notify AOLers?  They obviously figured it out.

Bottom line:  Nobody at utexas is under any obligation to allow anyone to use
their gateway.  If you happen to be one of the 2 zillion netizens not at AOL,
then consider yourself lucky.
