Re: AOL Charged With Blocking Opponents' e-Mail

AOL's choice to censor opposition to its misguided proposal (which
ultimately screws consumers and only benefits advertisers) only provides
further warrant to the claim that AOL will not be inclined to make the best
choice for the consumer.

I don't know what to make of this; what is AOL censoring?

This is the paranoid conspiracy theory that AOL is blocking
dearaol.com mail because it's critical of AOL.  

If they are in fact blocking it, which they may or may not (all the
reports so far are from people with major axes to grind) I expect it's
because a whole lot of AOL users are reporting it as spam.

R's,
John
