Is AOL free?  If the original poster's complaint was that
the service for which they are presumably paying is a bad
value because it has poor Usenet propagation, and that a
free service which the poster has attempted to use has
policies that prevent her from so doing, then why did the
poster not pursue one of the other avenues available to
anyone with the coins to spend on Internet service
providers?
