AOL users

[Kurt]

I really like AOL and have had it for the past 7 years. I like the child controls, having 7 email addresses available to use, games, spam control, pop up control, virus protection and free firewall. I don't know if other services offer all this or not. I have AOL Broadband and I'm happy with it so why change?

Because you are not getting important e-mail? :roll:

why do people need to use AOL for anything?

That's always been the prevailing opinion in the Mer family, too.

I wonder what I've been missing?

I also used to keep AOL b/c of a reality tv message board. Now that I talk about most of it here I don't visit there anymore. You all are more entertaining. :clap_1: I'm afraid of change too...another sign I'm getting old.

I use aol as well and have never had a problem. Doesn't the spam mail just get sent to the spam folder? They are kind enough to remind me to check it now and again for those important e-mails.

If you report it as spam then it gets added to your "blocked list" and it is blocked indefinetly. You can go back and change it if you want to.

I am talking about a situation where mail from a certain user (ip address) is totally blocked. It never gets to a spam folder. It is a sledge hammer approach to fixing a problem.

Maybe I have been missing important e-mails! I'm sure I won a big prize & don't even know it. I should probably switch but am too darn lazy.

Yeah, and if we did switch we may still get billed for AOL so why bother. ;-)

I use it, Mr. Pod hates the fact that I do, I think he's morally opposed to it. But I've never had a problem, and I've been paying less than $5 a month for it for months now, so it's cheap, too.
