[at-l] Please forward to AOL users

[Jim Bullard" <jbullar1@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Jim Bullard)]

I would prefer to continue the mail list if possible but I understand that

Congress gets around to doing something about spam (and that will only be US
based spam) the 'Net will be so flooded with spam that the only functioning
email will be on Intranets. :(
