"You idiots, it's all about the money!"...I read that inbetween the lines. And I understand. I was upset at first because they are so obtrusive and ugly. Yet, in the "real" world of business, it is all about increasing revenue over last year. Bonuses depend on it, advancement depends on it, the stock market depends on it. We are naive if we think AOL is different. Doesn't Time Warner own AOL? This is just a fact of life. They will find a way to make a buck ("to keep rising costs down and not pass it on to the consumer")....They do need a new Spin Doctor. That guy was terrible.

Like you said, if it were just a few, why bother. The whole thing just pisses me off to no end and IF I were able to learn the Blogspot methods in a realtively short time...I'd be there. Gone. But they wouldn't care. It's soooo sad. Anyway....this is the best post I've seen on all of this and I hope you've taken the time to send it to AOL via email. I vote you as their new PR person!

I bailed at the point I realized the entry was basically saying-the ads are staying get used to it. The trouble is he took several hundred words to say it.
