AOL Scam

[dave mumert]

Hi all

There is a place on Geocities to report this sort of activity. I submitted a
copy of the email and the URL for the web site. I will let you know what
Geocities response is.

Darn'd kids --- can't even spell right.
Inform-nation ??
(also, plural / possessives don't match).

Also, the last I checked, Steve Case was still AOL's president.

I doubt that much good will ever came from a Geocities address.

The morons who do this sort of crap ought to at least spell correctly and
use appropriate syntax.
Then once we get them educated, we can take turns pulling out their fingernails!
