Wrong I'm reading it :P  Leave AOL alone.  There are
many FREE connections to select one can have AOL and
many other "raw" connections.  Maybe we like AOL, and
that is why we pick it.  AOlers also know that AOL
isnt top class but we like easy listening once in a
while :P We're not all idiots and although there are
some exceptions we have brains to!

Why?  Certainly, they are aware that they are not an
ISP by your
definition.  It hasn't changed their business
practices.  Why would
an IETF RFC change their business practices?  The
business practices
of AOL are determined, for the most part, by what
Wall Street and
their customers think is important, not what the
IETF thinks.  Most
of their customers are unlikely to read such an RFC
anyway.
