             Louis, there are some thing you need to know about AOL.
   America Online allows each member to have 5 screen names with
   separate pass words.These can be changed at any time.This allows
   people to constantly post(flame) to different groups with total
   anonymity.When you sign onto AOL you are given a screen name or
   they allow you to create your own,it will not resemble your real
   name.I have no idea the reasoning behind this.
             American Online can be hacked at will,there are security
   holes in the software you could drive a truck through.It has been
   hacked and will contine to be hacked,but AOL wiil not admit it,they
   don't want their system to be seen as unsecure.My account was hacked
   and my personal e-mail was removed,and AOL refused to do anything
   about it. 
            There are several ways to hack AOL.Many people take the
   AOL sign up disks put them in the computer and just enter false
   information during the sign up process.Once they're online they
   can raise hell.When they sign off they just delete the AOL soft-
   ware.Another method is to use one of the hacker phreak software
   programs written just for AOL.The most popular is AOHELL,this
   lets you raise some serious hell,like point and click to send
   someone 500 message mail bombs.This program also allows you to
   write e-mail and make it appear that it came from someone else.
   This is only one of the hacker programs for AOL,there are many
   more,and they can all be downloaded from the web for free,with
   risk -I know one guy who downloaded AOHELL and went to install
   it-when he came back it was formatting his hard disk.
                There are many hacker,cyberpunk,anarchrist groups
   that use AOL as a base for attacking other systems.Its an easy
   way to cover their tracks.And these people don't like Marxists.
                There are lots of hacker web pages with ready to
   down load programs that are nasty.Another thing to watch out
   for is attached files,you notice on the M-list that at times
   people have attached files with their messages,well if you don't
   know these people-delete the attached files.There are many small
   virus programs that can be concealed within these that are self
   replicating.
                   If you're interested I can send you the URLs of
   some of the hacker web pages,or you can check the alt.aol sucks
   news group.
