    Is it possible for someone with AOL to see this message board?

    Sure. groups.google.com

    One can even sign up with them and post here from an AOL account.

    It's called a newsgroup. Yes, it is available to
    victims of AOL.

    You could pay EL by the year. Call them and see if they will give
    you a good $$ deal if you do so.

    Check this out also.

    EarthStink is rapidly developing a reputation as a spam-friendly ISP and
    also as an ISP which sells its customers' email addresses to others. I
    would stay away from them if I were you.

    "rapidly developing a reputation"? Care to post any refs?

    While I'm not going to defend ELN as an ISP (I have had some past experience
    with them), I am especially interested in the "sells its customers' email
    addresses to others" allegation. They just won a big lawsuit against
    spammers.

    Can you provide any proof at all for your allegation?
