[thelist] Strange AOL related error.

12. AOL has a reputation for protecting pedophiles - and some
say, promoting pedophilia.  Several years ago, one of their staff
lawyers was arrested in his office at AOL on child porn charges.
AOL kept him on the payroll until he was convicted and disbarred.

Whilst I agreed with the rest of your diatribe against AOL, this part, while
a nasty crime, still involves due process. If they had fired him as soon as
he was charged and he then was acquitted, he would have sued for wrongful
termination and probably won big bucks in a settlement to keep it out of
court... In the US you are innocent until proven guilty, even of the most
abhorrent crimes...

Sheesh even when they take out a shooter with the weapon in his hands, he's
referred to as the "alleged gunman". Heard this quote on TV the other night
"He engaged in a running gun battle with police during which he allegedly
shot at them." uh, DUH, isn't shooting at each other the definition of a gun
battle???

There are many ISPs that have nationwide access now, there is no need to use
AOLcrap for that anymore. Espire and Earthlink are two.
