    One of the reasons might be that AOL is one of the biggest or the biggest ISP out there. Where I lived a few monthsd ago on the coast, AOL was the only one available w/o long distance phone charges. AOL has a good lock on local phone numbers for several remote areas. That was the reason I had it at one time. I agree totally w/ ya though. If I have a choice between ISP's, AOL will always come in last

    Take a look at www.outdoorsunlimited.net They are pro-gun and a $1.00 of your monthly service fee goes to the pro-gun organization of your choice.

    Welcome to Gunbroker. Many of the posters here may not know about AOL. They do have an anti gun agenda and it should be pointed out. Thanks for bringing this up on the forum.

    STAY SAFE

    I and my co-workers travel a lot and need internet access. My employer gave us the option of a free AOL account for a year, or an annual re-imbursement of $50.00 if we chose to say with our current providers. I took the $50.00. AOL is bad news.

    Here's another question, why does AOL have the opportunity to distribute free upgrades in US Post Offices? I see their disc there all the time. People should complain about that, particularly if the prohibit others from distributing sales smut there.

    quote:why does AOL have the opportunity to distribute free upgrades in US Post Offices?

    Because they are the highest bidder?

    Hasn't the USPS been privatized in the last several years??? I may be wrong, but I don't think it is an entirely gov't-run institution anymore.

    AOL has been anti gun as has McDonald's and others. On AOL there is a gun control chat room that was taken over YEARS ago by the PRO gun crowd. Also there are gun message boards at keyword "guns"....
    Rosie O's message boards took a POUNDING from AOL PRO gun types.

    in my case i live in an area where aol is the only provider without long-distance charges.
    THAT would cost a bundle.
    AOL still sux, though.[xx(]

    i dont think aol can lock up an area by havingthe only tollfree numbers try juno.com outdoorsunlimited ,netfree all i can think of rite now . yes the PO is supposed to be a private co but it still follows all the gov BS redundant paperwork which is why you feel the mail is late.
