RTev, let's put this way: AOL's goal is to increase its share holders' value, we are peanuts but we are share holders. How AOL is going to achieve that goal? We must trust the management, they have been doing great job to increase our investment so far, they will continue to do so because they want to be the number 1 company in the 21 century! And they have the best competitor, MSFT, to push them! I don't think I am smart enough to figure out how AOL is going to use the ICQ or AIM eventually, but as long as my investment keeps going up, I am contended.
