Gee, Adel seems pretty intent on us not sending e-mail. Perhaps
because he/she has to PAY each time she reads it?
I suggest sending her 40 copies of your favorite flame. At 25 cents
a pop, that's an easy 10 bucks on her bill.

AOL only charges you for the time you spend online retrieving/reading mail, not for
length, or per message. However, if you compose long enough e-mails, they do
take quite a bit of time to retrieve... <g>

Yeah, but did you see the penis? Perhaps the AOL news gateway "truncated" it,
a la Bobbitt,

Nope, AOL doesn't charge a per-message fee for the Internet gateway. Too bad,
that might be an easy way to drive away some AOLers.

Sorry, but AOL doesn't charge for E-mail, Fraudigy and Compubucks do. It
is probably still worth a try just to hassle him/her/it any way.

A better idea is to just throw him/her/it into a killfile. I did it the
first day he/she/it posted and still haven't been able to get away from
his/hers/its posts because a lot of people obviously aren't as bright as
me and keep following them up.

What does this have to do with the message you were quoting,
