    Does this mean AOL is trying to become something which it is not??

    What, something that doesn't suck, as opposed to something that does?

    Doubtful.

    You mean they'll start offering an email service that doesn't allow you to use standard pop3-capable email clients?!?!?!

    We don't hate aol because we're slashdot trolls. We hate aol because their dumbed-down kiddie network for members only encourages some of the most ridiculously stupid behavior and poor netiquite which we all have to deal with when one of their troglodite members grows legs and crawls out of the primordial ooze and washes up on the beach of the larger web.

    Maybe you should be more careful when signing up to make a joke :)
