Maybe AOL can get a better deal on Slackware? Someone with money needs to back them, or they will die. Anyone heard anything from Patrick?

Alan can rest easy tonight, he's not going to have to leave now.

Don't we all feel better now?

We can see you're an AOL'er
You haven't even got the technical knowhow to be able to post to Slashdot properly. Maybe slashcode needs to be changed so that users with an AOL IP address don't see the submit button until they have previewed their post.
