AOL will no longer provide dial-up users access to newsgroups. If you want to keep newsgroups active, please contact AOL customer service and voice your concerns.

According to the LA Times last year, the average income of AOL users is about 72% higher than those who use the el cheapo ISPs hoping to save $5/mo. Not that income is necessarily an indication of intelligence...but probably is.

Who said anything about saving money?

Considering that AOL is basically "The Internet for Dummies", that theory doesn't hold much water.
