[AT] Electronic oblivion

Beat AOL over the head, They try to be "helpful" by blocking spam, but
then block messages you want to read. I just got through telling my ISP
that I was an adult and could handle deleting mail I didn't want on my
own. They had offered a spam/trash filter a while back, I never turned
it on and specifically told them to keep it off, well they "helpfully"
turned it on, suddenly ATIS messages were bouncing and Yahoo list
massages were also. I called and asked them what part of NO they just
couldn't understand. I mean I used to own one of the companies they
bought up, for crying out loud I should know what I'm doing.
