We all started there. I agree. My father and I were beta testers for AOL way back in 85 as a matter of fact the comp account is still open at least it was as of the early 90's. Anyway, we may have all started at the same spot, we didn't stay there. It is not their ignorance I have a problem with. It is them as a collective whole riding on a big AOL battleship so to speak. Collective ignorance is not something that puts a smile on my face. I did tech support for an ISP in college and man, those were some fools that want to get on the Internet, and the first thing 90% of them say is "Where is the chat room?". They have already been brainwashed either as previous online services users (CompuServe, AOL, Prodigy, GEinie, etc) or the media into thinking that this wonderful exchange of ideas and information is theirs. They say crap like "My Internet is broke" etc. Screw em, get them off, they are wasting bandwidth.
