Hi Jack: AOL stock has been run up by a bunch of dumb fumbs, some mutuals tossed a lot of money into the stock..and don't know how to getit back out with out getting burned..sooner or later she will crash big time the EP is pure horror, and hype about new sign ups, will fade they lost their butt in Russia, and didn't mention how this last drive, was not just a result of flat rates, but of all the free..try me disks they sent out..have two friends using it ( when they can get on )..for free..nobody I know personlly is paying for it..<G> Solution for AOL is to restructure..turn it into a fanchise type deal like make it the McDonalds of he internet but let each server be owned indepentently, and make them live up to certain standards like so many modems requied before taking in new sign ups,.. it's over centralized the way it is and top heavy..and the vast majority of ALO users are getting ripped off..this will never work the way it's going..changes need to be made..in the whole structure..not some band aid cure..the upgrading they are talking of is like trying to fix some one who got caught in a meat grinder and is bleeding from every limb, with a few band aids. jim
