..Once this passes, emails from the club and any other small time mailing lists you are on will probably never get to you. Way to go AOL!!!!! ...you money hungry useless P.O.S. ISP.

What do you mean?? AOL rules. I really must say I do hate AOL but you gotta give em credit for finding and grouping together every moron in the country.

I think I read or saw on the news that AOL was also going to raise rates on dial up customers to try and force them to start using their broadband services. That's going to really hurt people that don't have access to broadband lines. Which I can imagine is still a lot of people.

Great company, NOT!

AOL never prided themselves one respecting their customers. They just went after the users who didn't know any better.

If anybody has broadband available to them and still uses AOL dial-up...they should be slapped. I finally got my father on DSL and it's cheaper than AOL was. It integrates with Yahoo so it still has an easy feel for the internet impaired.

Yeah there are so many people out there that can get good high speed access and still pay more for AOHELL and then people like me have to deal with crappy satellite internet. Grr:mad2:

I have to add "high speed internet available" to my list of "must haves" when I move next year. I like living is somewhat secluded areas, but I couldn't live without high speed internet anymore... especially since it would cancel out any chance of "working from home" which I'm occasionally allowed to do.

I'm curious what AOL does with this pay service. If all it does is force people who don't pay to go into spam, they better have filters to allow users to mark something as not spam like Yahoo Email does. But if it throws the email away and never even gets to the user (which AOL does A LOT) then it will be a disaster for small time groups.

AOL...cutting off the leg to fix a broken toe.

This moron happens to be a molecular biologist. What's your station in life?

Fizz,
anything which appears to be spam is sent to your spam folder which you are advised to check every so often. If it isn't spam you just click a button to send it to your mailbox for reading.
I moved back to AOL after buying a new computer, free six months, and I happen to like it. However, you better not have any serious problem that you can not figure out yourself because nobody else there will, LOL. That being said, I'd give anything to be able to get Broadband. It's not in the cards yet, we're too far in the boonies.

There's more to it CJ. Aol has black listed hundres of servers so that email never even GETS to your spam folder. I do hope that this new thing they're doing just goes to spam...atleast that's better than going nowhere.

And I'll be the first to admit it...if I'm not expecting an email that didn't come in..I rarely check my yahoo spam folder.
