One other thing that's a problem, especially with AOL, is if you visit the
"chat rooms". It doesn't matter if the chat room subject is completely
180-degrees out from sex and smut,
the "spammers" just hop from room to room and copy the AOL members screen
names (which is their email address) and then load their spam guns to fire on
automatic...it's a real pain. So when you report one spammer and get rid of
him, there's 20 more behind him. That's why I don't chat no more...
