Thanks for the feedback. I'm an ATHM long so I've sung my share of blues this year. I don't have anything against AOL and I believe they serve a purpose. I do begin firing when I hear paternalistic phrases from Mr. Case about how his business deals will make the world a better place. This is the same reaction I experience when MSFT execs blather, or when cable system execs blither or for that matter when ANYONE seeks to control my choices. All of these smart people who would have you follow them would do well to embrace the changes that are at hand. Instead, without exception they grab what they can hold and then begin with telling us how they are making the world a better place. End of rant. Shields up, cloaking device enabled. ps. You are doing yourself a favor by being open to criticizing on the thread. Up to the TWX merger that has not been tolerated by the media or the thread.
