<<As Joe whatsisname just said on CNBC re: AOL, "maybe there's a lesson here, for some of the gungho on the AOL chatboards." The question now: How low can it go??>> i'll mark this comment and repeat it if AOL turns this perception deficit around.

JB2, re: "anything with the name America-anything on the label..." Hi JB2, You are kidding, right? I guess they won't use their phones then since their long distance is provided by American Telegraph and Telephone. And, of course, nobody over there wants American culture- jeans, tv shows, movies.... I think you discount the fact that when you are pretty comfortable economically... you can put food on the table and a roof over your head... nationalism stops at your pocketbook. Just my opinion. Jon :)

Actually, I do not care what is happening in Europe.

JB2 Yea, anti American sentiment in Europe is raging. They(AOL) need to use the tactics the Japanese do.. like these Honda adds, that start out talking about American tradition.. yada yada, then I find out it's a foreign company. There are other examples I can't dredge up right now. But the name AMERICA ON LINE.. is a little hard to sneak by. Hard to beleive these adds work. Of course a population that drives a stock like this to the levels it did will swallow just about anything.-g- Mark
