14.4 Fear and Loathing @ AOL.COM
America OnLine does not seem to hold a special place in anyone's
(except maybe Steve Case and its subscribers') heart. Since the PC
explosion, people who have no prior computer experience have been
flocking to this magical place called "Internet." However, some
shrewd entrepreneurs realized that the 'Net operates on a strange
language called UNIX... and novices (read paying customers) are
intimidated and go away.
This difficultly has long kept the Internet a haven for techno-
savvy college students and researchers. A hip club where computer
knowledge was a prerequisite for getting in the door. However, a
pretty face is being slapped on the Internet, and now all the
dreaded "visitors from New Jersey" are arriving by the busload via
some place called "America OnLine"
The problems began when people who had no prior computer experience
started treading all over "hallowed ground" -- speaking loudly and
being obnoxious.
As it happened, many AOLers -- drunk with the notion of "surfing
the net" -- haven't taken the time to read this document (or
others like it) or pay attention to the "Tips of the Day" that the
AOL staff posts before you can enter the newsgroup area. (If you're
from AOL, pat yourself on the back for checking this out...)
With a quick click of the OK button, many AOLers just join the fray
and make fools of themselves.. almost begging net.denizens to hate
them. Now, you may not be this way, but your predecessors were, so
AOL (along with many other on-line services) has gotten a pretty
bad name.
A reader adds this figure:
Look at it this way: 1,000,000 AOL users. 25% of them
read news.announce or a faq or something, That leaves
75% of them clueless. Say half of them each post two
stoopid "Hey d00dz, I needz the kewl warezzzzz" messages.
That's 750,000 lame messages.
Hey, that's enough to piss anybody off. :-)
His advice:
Realize that the USENET has it's own ethos, culture and
consciousness that was around long before AOL came on
line. AOL, or any other .com service, doesn't OWN the
net, rather they are accessing it like anyone else.
Don't complain "I pay for this, therefore I don't want to
see this" - it's an anarchy, and the fact that you have
to pay per hour for access doesn't mean shit.
