   But AOL isn't leaving.   
      
   I'm reminded of a song I wrote about 30 years ago about Usenet trolls:   
      
   And then I had a vision of the vengeance God has set   
   For those who think their posts should go on all groups in the Net:   
   He wouldn't wish them even on the Devil down in Hell;   
   But they shall spend eternity logged on to AOL!
