Re: AOL? Do What?!

["Mark Cummings" <figjams@primus.com.au>]

I don't know about other countrys, but in Australia, AOL try to palm
themselves off as if AOL stood for Australia On-Line. They even try to act
like Aussie's in their piss weak commercials. In the whole commercial the
word "America" is not mentioned even once. What's the problem, are they too
gutless to advertise their real name.
A person or company who hide behind some kind of alias will never earn my
respect.
