Pull out the history books and lookup genie, prodigy, compuserve, and aol
and maybe that will help you to understand that aol is just another site on
the net that is only alive because of cyber sex.  They are one of the last
(If not last?) "Online services" that provide multiple services in which one
of them is "World Wide Web" connectivity.  Earthlink for example provides
only one service.. Internet connectivity with multiple products all based on
providing some form of internet connection.  Not attracting people to chat
rooms for sex talk or trying to sell you something everytime you log on and
before you can do anything else.
