Alec ; RE >Easier just to get off AOL, make the call,<< Wait a min,
or an hour or two or three..just to get on AOL..and after you get
on your scared silly to log off..no telling how long it will take
to get back on.
--------------------------
Look AOL gets what they can out of the newbies, some of them
never even log on the second time. When they sign up they have
to give AOL their credit card number..getting unsigned is
a hassel..and some newbies just let AOL bill them for nothing,
but if you get on you also get a lot of nothing. :-)
nothing but ads and junk mail and perverts looking for
kids and asking how old you are.
-------------------------------
But the underwriters and the insiders got this stock cooking,
hey they can keep it up to 400 times earnings as long as they
want, and will as long as they can get suckers to short that
they can squezz..when the shorts stop playing her she will
fall.
