1 edit | AOL and Another Email Hoax - Snopes.com to the rescue AOL please die. My aunt loves to forward email and they are usually started by an AOL customer who received an email stating something to good to be true. [url]»www.Snopes.com[url] to the rescue, find the relevant hoax, urban legend, and copy and paste the URL in a reply to her and the hundred other people on the forward list; the most important being the AOL customer who started this mess and explain that "Cancer is not cured by..."
Ah, how I would love the day when my inbox had no forwards with suggestive subject lines. Now for today's perusal; nevertheless, "FW:FW: Think about this." Well one can hope!

Camden, TN | said by 61999674:This kind of thing isn't limited to AOL users and how is AOL to blame? because people still using AOL typically tend to be the most ignorant when it coems to things like online scams. I'm trying to be insulting I'm just stating fact. |

if you think insulting the natives here is hurting my feelings you are poorly mistaken. My opinion of them is much worse than any you could ever think of. |

69 had it right AOL has always catered to the clueless and ignorant when users decide to log on to the internet. Since they have no clue what the internet is and were kept in the AOL portal they were never exposed to the internet.
How many AOL users would log on to their dial up service and then minimise the client software and launch IE or Firefox and find that key words do not apply when outside of AOL amongst other things.
When in their inboxes within AOL they then would just reply and forward to their hearts content and believe everything that was addressed to them.
My first internet exposure was a dial up account, finger, Pine, and then finally a browser when IE and Netscape came along. I tired AOL for all of 90 days free and then only as an access to the real internet.
