Anyone misuing the AOL screen name feature is violating AOL TOS and can/will
be terminated for doing so, if the abuse is reported to us (either
TOSInet1@aol.com or abuse@aol.com, please). I do have to add that the only
time I've had any problem with an AOL member on my lists was when the
supervisor of one of the members joined the service and the list with the
express purpose of 'watching' her employee. This may be due to the nature of
the list and the general tendency of its members to bury clueless idiots in
sarcasm, or it may not.
