When I see @aol.com in an email address, I automatically think "newbie" or "loser". It conveys "I'm just playing around here - I really don't know much about this Internet thingie. My grandkids help me press the buttons."
Get real. Get a real ISP.
When I see this type paragraph I think “gee I wish I knew this guy so I could have a personal TALK with him". I have used AOL, though I hate it, since the days when there was little else. I have customers all over the world who may only look for me every few years. They may have changed companies and locations many times since we last spoke, do I just give them up? I also have thousands of posts on genealogical and history web sites that use the AOL address and often get answers to questions long after I posted.
I can give none of this up because of what people like you think.
I happen to have AOL, Optimum Online, and use hotmail, too. I use each for what they are good for and I'm not a "geek" in need of defining my ego by his ISP address.
I suspect that the two of you make it a habit of rushing to judgement about alot of people.
While this is clearly very unwise debating practice, it does offer readers a reveling glimpse into both of your respective fundamental self-important immaturities.
