Utterly asinine! Any person (or company) sitting on their brains would look at the situation this way: There is fierce competition among instant messaging (ICQ, YAHOO, MSN), and ANY person that builds a program like bigblueball smiler would be INVALUABLE, in the way that it would **PROMOTE** use of THEIR IM program!

I think we should all send letters to the attorney that wrote the letter, and carbon copy it to the dip$hits at AOL.

At this point, I am going to consider ERASING AIM from my computer and switching back to either MSN, or Yahoo Messenger. They offer VIDEO CAMS, and have a hell of a lot more smileys.

Shame on AOL. Ignorant and pathetic.
Peace out.
