Yep, it is wayyyy to quiet ! Eventually most of the AOLers will probably be back, until the next time. And, as always seems to be the case, there are some who are not affected. It's a funny thing - other Internet providers manage to have spam-blocking software without ruining peoples' lives.... Be brave ! Follow Sally's example - heck, she did it the more complicated way, by setting up her own domain name, which is more elaborate, but totally cool if you are really intrepid ! Either way, call your local phone company or cable company - they all have Internet service, all will send you the complete setup kit - all you have to do is to get their disk, put it in your computer, and it does everything to get you up and running. And you have the option of having broadband too if you are willing to pay for it....

Just ask Sally Hayden <G> She did it, and now she is glad. I did it too - years ago, +++++++++++++++++++++++ Oh Yes Margery I LEFT AOL NEVER TO GO BACK AGAIN. So many poo - poo'd me when I told what was happening to my emails. Now I do believe a lot believe.
