That's nice, but I think you missed the "why AOL sucks" thread by a month or so.

Everything is relative.
I like aol more than I like posting notes on the bulletin board at the
supermarket.
I like Macs more than I like Commodore 64s.
(Actually, I'd like Macs a lot more if I'd been smart enough to buy Apple stock
before yesterday- Then, just like Forrest Gump, I'd be a rich Mac owner!)

I guess. It's just an ISP, albeit one that has a lot of idiots, but that's
common knowledge nowadays. Beating a dead horse, I guess.
Well, whatever tickles your pickle.
That's because AOL is *THE* ISP for idiots, what other ISP holds your hands to
surf the web or let you cut and paste emoticons <smileys> from its own library
in E-mail? I rest my case, if there even was one to rest....
P.S. Yes, this is an AOL account, and unfortunately my only way to get onto the
net'...oh well, atleast i'm not paying for it.
P.P.S To the person who said he was "smart" because he hasnt payed a dime to
get an AOL account...smart..yea ok... considering that every upstart programmer
needs 15 minutes of fame by producing an AOL terrorizing program to do the work
for you.....

what do you know? i used to use those AO-HELL programs back in Jr High
school...but even so if you knew what you were talking about before you posted
something you would know that that is irrelevant....those "destroy" AOL after
you sign on...the only way to sign on for free is by yourself
'twas fine : )
They really have a smiley library? That's...interesting. Do they have

Two months is hardly brief.
And to let a whole month go by without mention of AOL's suckiness is
practically a crime.

It also sucks aside from having lots of idiots.
It's like the chicken and the egg; does AOL suck because it's full of
idiots who don't get the concept of changing ISP's, or are there
predominately idiots because AOL sucks?
But, unlike the chicken and the egg, that debate is fun.
>Well, whatever tickles your pickle.
I don't do that much.
Certainly not enough to justify an expression thereof.

As it should be.
If you want, I'll "defend" AOL with straw men for a while.
Your right, those programs destroy AOL after you sign on, but as i remember
when i used AOHell, the first program <i think>, you needed to use its features
to even make a fake account...and second i am generalizing, not all AOL users
are obviously idiots....from what i have seen <not on this site, but others>
most AOL users eithe troll or say things to stir up trouble..i didnt say this
to stir up trouble, i was agreeing with the general opinion in this group that
AOL is for retards.....

Have you even read this group for any length of time?
This group is (somewhat) grossly off-topic. Pretty much anything goes here
(save obvious no-no's like binaries), which means AOL-sucking threads
belong here as much as the rest of the off-topic stuff.
Furtheremore, it's rather silly for you to make demands - what have you
done here that makes you believe that your words, unsupported as they are
by reputation, logic, or evidence, will have any effect?

Luckily, it seems there is no shortage of people ready to mention AOL's
suckiness at the drop of a hat. And it seems that the number of disgruntled
AOL users has grown quite rapidly. Ah, well, I shouldn't really care.

"Much" he says. But, enough of that subject.

>Hey! I think defending AOL is a very tough job....
No, merely *being* on AOL is a tough job. You see, if someone from a non-AOL
ISP does something stupid, no one needs to answer for their crime but
themselves. If someone from AOL does something stupid, through some unspoken
rule of the Net the likes of which I am in no way responsible for, *everyone*
from AOL is saddled with guilt by proxy.
That said, I find the "AOL bitching" to be unspeakably dull. It eludes me how
people can find any merriment in whining about the same subject over and over
and over again- hey, put 'em in a room together, let them bitch about AOL for
all eternity, and we'll be rid of them. ^_^
And no, I DON'T like AOL. The only reason I've stayed with the server for two
years is not because I'm "an idiot who doesn't get the concept of changing
ISPs," but because I've found the sweetest, most wonderful friends of my life
on, yes, AOL. Believe it. Now, I _realize_ that I could run out and get a new
server and get the AOL Instant Messenger and coerce them all into IRC chat- but
the problem is, the phone lines in my area haven't been replaced since the
1950's, and while they seem to hate AOL- the screen freezes up on me at random
times, forcing me to reset it- they hate every other server I've tried even
more. :-P

No! No! You misunderstand!
Do you think we poor, tortured souls ~like~ being ruled by the iron
fist of Micro$oft? Do you think we ~enjoy~ having to deal with
amazingly unneccesary complications to do something as simple as
install a CD-ROM drive? Do you actually have the nerve to assume that
we people PREFER WINDOWS OVER THE MACINTOSH OPERATING SYSTEM?! People
like you would sicken me if you didn't do this because you were
unaware of our plight.
We belong to a small group of people who simply ~cannot~ use Macs.
We know that Micro$oft is an evil empire...but can WE help it if
almost every PC game never comes out on Mac, or that the few that
do come out stupidly late? Do you realize that MacQuake came out almost
a YEAR after the PC version? Good God, I don't know how I'd go through
with life if I didn't have my daily Quake fix!
And once you've submitted to Gate$, there's no turning back! We
~couldn't~ go out and cure ourselves if we ~wanted~ to! For one thing,
Macintoshes have that one button mouse...DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW
MADDENING IT CAN BE TO TRY TO GET USED TO THE LACK OF RIGHT-CLICKING?!
Okay, you're in Netscape...so you right-click to swiftly go "back",
right? No, you have to hold ~the~ mouse button down for a full TWO
SECONDS before ANYTHING happens! Wanna go back another five times or
so, as I often find myself doing? YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT DOWN ANOTHER FIVE
TIMES! AAaaAAaAaRrrrRRRRrGGggGgGgGGGgggHHHhhHhHHhhHHh!!! And the
incredibly STUPID Mac setup for doing stuff with the keyboard sucks, too!
In Windows, you can swiftly hit an arrow key a couple times, hit enter,
and you've ~already~ gotten into the program! Is it the same with Macs?
NooooOOOOOooooo! You have to TYPE PART OF THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM, which
can take about SIX KEYSTROKES OR ~MORE~ if you're in a folder with a lot
of similarly-named files, and then hit command-o. COMMAND-O?! MY GOD,
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?!
[gaaaasp, gasp...pant...pant]...Sorry about that...I've never been the
same since I installed my Sound Blaster some time ago...::semi-coherent

I'll have to add some extra whisk...er, ritalin to keep those nerves
settled...
