There is really some trouble with AOL

    I had an aol mail id as dhrubajyotideka at aol.

    But I tried to close the id and got the reply from the AOL:

    Thanks for the mail!

    I don't work for AOL, but you're not alone having trouble cancelling your
    AOL account.

    In fact, one survey found that AOL is the least-trusted internet company,
    with a whopping 37% of online consumers saying they "highly distrust" AOL.

    I don't usually work with e-mail addresses, but I've received literally
    hundreds of complaints from AOL subscribers about billing problems. Here's
    what I usually send people about cancellation problems.

    To cancel your AOL account, call 1-888-265-8008.

    You can also mail AOL at PO Box 65100 / Sterling, VA 20165-8800 to cancel
    your account, or FAX 703-433-7283. But then you need to say specifically
    that you're cancelling, give your full name, phone number and address, and
    either the primary Billing Contact's AOL screenname or the last four digits
    of the current payment method.

    And make sure you get a confirmation name for your cancellation!

    Here's an article about it...

    http:// moezilla. newsvine. com/_news/2008/01/20/1241841-aol-wont-let-you-cancel-your-account-this-weekend

    They're not taking any cancellations on Sundays now -- to try to make it
    harder for you to cancel!

    Sorry I can't be more help -- but if you keep trying, AOL may *really*
    cancel your account, and may eventually even give you a full refund. The
    answer you get may even change, depending on who you talk to and how many
    times you call back. Let me know how it comes out.

    You might also contact your state's attorney general. (What state do you
    live in?) AOL promised they wouldn't keep doing this. This article will
    amaze you.

    I also wrote a story about the problems for my AOL Watch mailing list.

    http://www.aolwatch.com/list/0091.html

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    Just so you know: 3 million people cancel their AOL account every 12
    months. Over the last five years, over 20 million people have cancelled
    their AOL account. And someone cancels their AOL account every nine
    seconds.

    So you're not alone.

    It seems AOL is really having some problems. :confused:

    It is really sad. Because I knew AOL was one of the TOP companies of US.

    What does this have to do with DMOZ?

    Looks like you did not actually write to AOL at all.

    Imaooo....

    Now you say AOL has nothing to do with DMOZ? Anything more joke than this?

    Please be honest. While AOL itself is in problem, how they will run DMOZ? And this is the reason DMOZ is outdated for many years.

    Do you think I did steal that message from somebody else? :D

    AOL mail accounts have nothing to do with DMOZ...

    In the letter, it says:

    Yes, that is what I wanted to hear from you.
    You say: AOL mail accounts have nothing to do with DMOZ
    And you say this too: As you are trying to have an Editor account with the username of business name....

    Really, you people contradicts in every point of your own.
