Here we have AOL suing spammers? AOL, who daily bombards their *paying* members with a ton of advertisements on practically every window? AOL, who "offer" their members telephone calls, mailings, etc., to convey 'special offers' unless the member specifically declines them? AOL, who pushes a new 'feature' in the form of a pop-up window chock full of ads that includes a search engine, just so they can say it does something? AOL, who has flooded our nation with a sea of disks in the mail, inside cereal, magazines, and even meat products (not SPAM, no:) ), decides to sue a spammer?? I'm sorry, but this is just too much hypocrisy to take in one sitting. You know what is probably next? AOL will send their members a long email detailing their victory over spam...with a little 'special offer' for their members to celebrate with.
