AOL keeps alot of their members by constantly reminding them about the 'nightmare" of having to give up their email address.

Years ago when I talked my Mom into dumping that AOL trash, I went into her email address book and sent a few emails to each of her contacts. The 10 or so other little old ladies got the message and her email flowed without interruption to her new address.

To this day she thinks I'm a computer genius because I got her email switched and she "didn't miss a single one". Which in turn kept the whole recipe/joke/chain letter exchange from falling off its axis.

Hey, when you're a hero, you're a hero. What can I say? :)

I will agree changing your email address can be a pain.

But AOL is just a horrible company. Their "changing your email is a nightmare" scam is just a small example.

Their customer no-service is a joke, they double bill, they continue to bill after you've dumped them. I have friends that have been fighting with AOL for over a year about billing problems. I think AOL's attitude is, "If we ignore them long enough, they'll give up."

AOHELL has NO redeeming attributes IMHO.
