I was filled with a momentary lapse of judgement; I did attempt to report
the incident. Can anyone guess what dialog box I got? If you guessed "Too
many requests pending" you win! I figure if the boys @ AOL arn't bright
enough to allocate a priority status to the "snitch line" they deserve all
that and more! I did not attempt a second try.

Well Thank you luther, have a handfull of earmites. (grin)
A side note: I wonder if AOL has the order code of advertisers set up as
priority?
