Re: AOL?

and here is my shot at iprimus (and others i guess) tell me why they insist 
on kicking users afer 4 hours, regardless of the usage by other users. surly 
there isnt suddenly too many users for there system. why set their script to 
boot on 4 hours and not when all conections are full?

anyway, thats what i think..
