I laugh at people who say AOL is bad and haven't ever even used it. It's hilarious how people just follow others without having their own opinion. Personally, and this is coming from somone who had AOL like their whole life till now, AOL isn't THAT bad. I mean it has it's faults, most of them coming from the customer service and people who work there, but the actual service itself, really isn't that bad. The interface is great and easy to work with, things are easy to access and it has spam filters for your mail and stuff, and has a lot of great security things for your internet. Besides the customer service, people who work there in general, and the price (I think 25 bucks a month for dial up is overpriced), it's really not that bad. People just need to learn to get their own opinion and not follow what everyone else thinks.
EDIT: BTW, this wasn't directed at any of u, just others I have seen in the past. (or maybe it is directed at some of you if you fit the description :/)
