AOL employee sells 92 million screen names to spammers

Poor AOL (note sarcasm). They can't do anything right. It would seem one of their employees stole the information for 92 million accounts in order to sell it to spammers. And he did just that. The man and his spam conspirators have been arrested, but you can bet that the information is already out there and is going to be used heavily.
If you need another reason to hate AOL, see the article here.
Remember — friends don't let friends use AOL.

I’m constantly amazed that AOHell is still in business. And hell, I worked their support line for 4 months! “where do I write the word click?”

Always cater to the lowest common denominator. It always snares a majority share of the population (look at reality TV and its bizarre climb to popularity).
