This is interesting. Since AOL isn't charging by the minute anymore,
this has got to have some significant effect on their resources and
their bottom line. So I wonder if AOL is making an effort to reduce
spam as a function of corporate policy. They certainly have the clout,
talent and money available.
Does anybody know if AOL has an anti-spam research group operating?
