I just have a hard time believing that anyone who has heard Bush speak
would be willing to vote for him.
The man is *incoherent*.

One version of AOL was known as the "upgrade of death" by many users who
tried it.
AOL has also been notorious for assuming that it is the only connection to
the outside world. It has a tendancy to kill anything that works with any
other isp.
Also, it has had one of the worst mail programs on the face of the planet.
(One of the reasons that AOL users were viewed as idiots (other than
acting like one) is that the mail client was unable to quote previous
messages.)

When AOL first got on Usenet, they pissed everyone off because they had a
bug that sent every message from AOL about eight times.
They have never had the best reputation on the net.
