Barry,

I'm glad someone threw in exerps from the actual 10-Q. Your reply mentions no less than three times revenue generated from subscribers.

Personally, I never bought anything from AOL. All of the money I spent with them was subscriber fees. I would imagine AOL will try to increase the amount of revenue generated from advertising. Why have all of these people subscribe if you can't sell something because they're captive? Maybe AOL will start selling info to junk mailers. I know American Express does it and makes good money doing it.

Time will tell.

Greg
