The easy way to get rid of p*rn and sp*m on AOL is to create a secondary
email account, and turn off email for your primary one, and then don't
create any user profile for your secondeary one. We have four or five AOL
screen names, and the only one that gets spam is the original.

I've also been on AOL, almost since the beginning, and while we don't really
use it for anything any more (news clippings is about it), I hate to give it
up. Oh. There is a decent Newton library on AOL, which I go to on occasion.
