Dont use foul language like that on this list! :)

> Just a thought!

No, we do not want AOL to soil our beloved amigas! I mean ok, some of
their offers look good, but they spy on their users, cut the
subscription to people they don't like, lock out all other internet
software and generally try to take over the 'host' PC, and are
generally used by fools who see a free CD pop through the post and
think it's a good idea to install it.

Being an amiga owner you obviously have some sanity, escape now before
they try to take over your mind!

PS. If you don't believe me about AOL check these links:
