You probably see more of these types of messages from AOL'ers since to my 
knowledge AOL'ers are jumping on mailing lists in greater numbers than any 
other 'net service provider.  

There seems to be a pervasive net.attitude that AOLers are 2nd class 
netizens.  I hope this attitude changes.  Some of these net.denizens have 
to realize that they started as newbies too...

     FWIW..
