"Lart"?  New verb?

        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?
