Hmmmmm.....so 2 months credit for 8 million users @ 19.95 a month.

That comes out to $319,200,000 in refunds.

That's quite a hit on the ol' bottom line.

I realize it'll be much lower than that since AOL lies about their membership base, and such a small percentage of those 8 mil actually pay anything.
