Sam,

"Undisclosed fee for a guaranteed number of viewer impressions." ???

Now that seems like it is really going to bring in the money. Of course, this "sure" revenue generator is only slightly worse than the norm for AOL. If you read the Tel-Save deal, disclosed by Tel-Save, not AOL, you find out that the "big" $100 million deal could run 10 years or more, until AOL actually delivers the goods. Have you noticed that AOL's "deals" are almost always contigent? AOL makes promises and their "partners" make promises back. Good business, if your business is to keep your stock price juiced.

I did not even read the rest of what you posted, so I cannot comment. You win, if having the last word is winning. Intelligent people can judge the merits of your case for themselves at this point.
