    ...nice empty mindless generalization ...the OP link was from the 21st century....derp.

    ...pretty much what I thought... That has to be the lamest analogy I've ever seen...especially from someone who shaves their head.

    Sorry man...dead serious. In 2015 you can have just about any domain name, cost in minimal. AOL has a stigma to it and deservedly so.

    Do I need to post a poll? Lol!

    ...like I've said about 5 fucking times, I also have other "domains"...and they're ALL FREE...why is that so fucking hard for you to get through your thick skull. The only stigma is the one you and other "holier than thou" judgmental pricks have attached to it.
    ...Verizon bought AOL for a very valid reason. If you can dispute this, let's hear it.

    Oh come on, stop. All you need is gmail, you already like chrome and google stuff. You can manage multiple accounts with brand G.

    What purpose does it serve to keep the AOL address other than to fight with people when they poke fun at it?

    8 tracks and LPs became cassettes than CDs then mp4, etc.
    8mm became beta than vhs, than DVD and now bluray.

    Shit evolves, out with the old, in with the new.

    ...uhhh I've already covered that...and why. I've yet to hear a valid reason why I should close my AOL email account...and all you can come up with is "because it's the 21st century"?...wtf kind of mindless BS is that?...is not the purchase of AOL by Verizon not part of the 21st century?...can you offer anything coherent as to why this was a bad deal?

    ...No, you can't and you know it. You're just mouthing off with nothing tangible but your own personal bias about something you're obviously ignorant of.

    ...your "LP, 8 track...etc" is another terrible analogy...did blue ray buy out 8 track patents?...uhhh, no...again, terrible analogy.

    ...and I'll flip your misguided logic back at you....what purpose does poking fun at people that have an AOL address among others?


    ...I'll ask one more time; do you or do you not have a valid reason why Verizon buying AOL was a bad deal or not?

    Why keep it open? Lots of free email domains, and email merging/migration is a snap.

    ...about self-proclaimed Baseball players who swear they're not going to post again because it's "unfair"....and then they show up again.

    ...covered this before too...I'm fine with the way my accounts are and for one, I'm not concerned with it...not sure at all why you are.

    ...no answer for the Verizon/AOL buyout ?...you think it is a bad deal for either/both companies?...n/m.

    Not sure it gets Verizon where they want to be. They don't have the bucks to make a bigger splash, nor were there other deals available. Some think the deal is brilliant, but I'm like you....been a Verizon customer from the beginning and can't find a reason to go through the hassle to switch. I have zero use for their content and find it annoying.

    I get why cell companies want to be media providers....but there are just way too many avenues to go for content, the one stop shop internet concept died long ago. Now perhaps they want to leverage net neutrality for market share. However that goes away with a R in the WH.

    ...doesn't get Verizon where they want to eventually be but it's a start...I think they're trying to get bigger and maybe they're banking on the fact that many people are becoming more and more disenchanted with the monster that is Google, as well as some of the other bigger players...I know I am. I'd guess about 1/3 of the BS on my Galaxy is somehow tied to Google...it slows things down and sucks the battery.
