    I have used AOL since the early 90's. Back in the "YOU"VE GOT MAIL" days when AOL was distributed free on floppy disks and even paid for it for a number of years.
    .
    When you recently started with this new format, I immediately thought. WEll, here it is. The beginning of the last dying throes of another aged pioneer who doesn't know how to evolve. I requested that you revert to the format you have provided us so reliably for years but it's obvious by now, that you're not going to do it. And I guess I understand that in a way
    .
    On one hand I can understand, that compared to the number of users you have. and the number of people I see have complained, you would not have any huge reason to change back to your old format. I know that your board room dwellers see it as "not many are complaining" They just can't conceive of the idea that the REAL reason is "There's not that many who care what you do anymore" I constantly have people ask me' with a snicker "You still use AOL ? ? " " REALLY ? "
    However, you will eventually know for sure when you see that even these changes will not stem the ongoing decline in AOL users.
    .
    You have been providing your service for long time now and it's obvious that someone there has their head somewhere where the sun doesn't shine and that this annoying but insignificant change is not going to help your obvious problems and stop your eventual demise. Your management has obviously aged and you are not listening to anyone young enough to make you realize what you're doing wrong compared to your competition.
    .
    One thing though, that I must commend you for is that I really find it unusual that in today,s climate, you are not listening to a minority of your customers who want to tell you how to run your business. After all, at least someone there must drink beer and read sports magazines and has seen the results of that policy.
    But, I daresay, you have not looked into the future far enough.
    .
    Read a little further, You'll see that your done. You just wont admit it yet. You're old and brittle and not flexible enough to exist in these times.
