Is there a way to send an instant message to the AOL IM user if AOL is not your ISP?

Is the AOL IM system still a "closed" system just for suckers, er, I mena AOL subcribers. I wanted to IM a talk show host who uses AOL IM and I obiously don't use AOL.

You can download AOL Instant Manager and chat with other AOL subscribers free of charge. Use at your own risk...

Another program -- Trillian -- lets you chat with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and IRC.

A bunch of kooks out there who randomly send you IMs, mostly to porn stuff. Happens more on YahooIM than AOL. But I just don't like AOL, that's all. ;)

I just want to send IM to the talk show host. When I'm finished I'll shut it off, thatnks for the advice. I hate AOL too.
