My thoughts exactly. I don't use AOL myself but my ISP filters spam and I have to look carefully through my spam list every day to find e-mail from customers and potential customers that it has filtered out, to unblock it and add to my whitelist. I'm also involved in some organizations and the first time any group member e-mails me, the spam filter usually blocks it (even though I have it set to the minimum aggressiveness possible). So for anyone involved in organizations or running a business, you have to be able to receive e-mails from people that have not e-mailed you in the past, where you may not be expecting e-mail from them and where you probably don't know their phone number and they may not know yours so calling is not an option. And for customers who have AOL, it is a real problem if I can't reach them because they will think I didn't respond to their query. We have a very small home-based business and can't afford to pay for sending e-mail (such as paying Hotmail $2K).
