No, it should be dissed because it's a sorry excuse for an ISP.

Got sent this.  And people ask what's wrong with AOL.

        Well, I just got off the phone with one of AOL's postmasters and, 
boy, are they *really*  FUBAR.  Seems that they have an automatic filter 
which quietly bit-buckets any e-mail that does not meet certain 
unspecified criteria.  There is no document which describes or lists 
these criteria.  Since the discards are automatic, there is no error 
message generated and there is no notification sent, either to the sender 
or the intended recipient.  When I accused them of throwing the baby out 
with the bath water I got "Oh, but the benefits outweigh the costs!"  I 
suggested that that was true of AOL but not its customers and was told it 
was better for AOL's customers, too.  Sheesh.
