	Check the comp.mail.sendmail FAQ.  That wouldn't get written
without their support.  Check all the mailing lists run on
listserv.aol.com, including the ones I have personally helped get
started such as the list to help FAQ Maintainers use and understand
SGML.

	AOL does give back to the 'net, and in fact has a program *named*
"Give Back to the 'Net", and anyone (whether they work for AOL or
not) can give recommendations to this program.  In fact, there have
been times when we've tried to give large sums of money to the
authors of certain pieces of software, when it turned out that those
authors didn't want money, but instead wanted something we weren't in
a position to provide.  Trust me, we give back to the 'net *big
time*, every single day.


	I'm sorry guy, if you want to rant and rave, go to alt.aol-sucks.
Let's keep the conversations on this list to *useful* ones.
