This is a good move. I got AOL about 10 years ago when there really wasn't anything else to get. When Broadband finally became available in my area, I just kept AOL.
After a while I got tired of the bloated software and just downloaded their communicator software which lets you turn services off. I just use their mail program which is much better than Outlook, Thunderbird, etc..
I called up, AOL is now free for me, except for any premium charges. I use AOL voicemail (it is really good) so I will still be paying $5 a month.
I asked the cust rep if they would have an ala cart dialup service (for the times when my cable goes out) and he said no, but he said that was a pretty good idea and asked if it was ok if when he recomended it to the higher ups if he used my name. I dunno if he was blowing smoke up my butt, but I told him no problem.
I called at 11:45 pm and only had to wait a couple minutes, but I bet if you call between 6am and 8pm in the next few days, you will be waiting forever.
Good move on AOL's part.

Of course an address that isn't well known to spammers will get less spam than an aol account that is on the millions CDs spammers sell each other, but if you, for example, simultaneously create new aol, hotmail, gmail, and fastmail accounts, normally configured, and post to usenet with them, I think the AOL account will get the least spam.
AOL also does a better job at preventing spammers from abusing its network.
