Well you pay $30 (?) bucks for services you don't need. If you cancel that you still can use you AOL email address. The $30 pays you plenty of beer or other things you could buy instead. If course if you think you need additional AOL services you should not cancel it. -- Andreas You know you are a redneck if you ever used a weedeater indoors.
