> The AOL Stereotype is something that you want to avoid... At all costs.

Want to avoid perpetuating it, or avoid meeting it? Or both? Actually,
when I use the term AOLer I don't actually mean people who use AOL - I'm
just using it as an all-purpose term of abuse for people with no concept
of netiquette (as you described). Sorry to any AOLers out there!

Don't worry Jim - you're no AOLer. Just a pervert.... ;-)

PS IT *is* a stereotype, but there is a kernel of truth there - and
these people do exist, trust me. Esp. on IRC...
