AOL, Arrogance and Splitting the List
- From: harry@xxxxxxx (Harry McDonald)

In response to those who have discussed splitting-up the list I respond with
a firm "no" vote. I like it the way it is.
To those of you who wrote about the expense of using AOL for the list I offer
the following:
I received from "Ric" today at TOSGeneral on AOL a message that accused me of
using AOL for sending chain letters to other users. I was warned that a
letter would be put in my file and that I better not do it again.
After quaking in my boots for a while I replied to "Ric" and told him I did
no such thing, but that I get chain letters, offers for "Ecstacy" tapes, hot
telephone "dates" and other such unsolicited crap that I have to pay to get
rid of on AOL.
I am using another AOL service, GNN, right now to write this message so I
will probably have another letter put in my file and the FBI will likely be
called in.
I have an appointment today with Sprint and some other person to see about
using an AOL branch company to "tie" my 5 plants and my customers (all the
aerospace giants) together. I will be cancelling that appointment. I meet
with MCI tomorrow.
You too, fellow AOL users, are being watched by people who can't see
straight. And files are being kept.
