Don't know how true this is....



Our America online staff is planning to take away IM by May 9th, 2002. If you want to keep our IM free of charge, send this email to everyone you know. It will be used as a petition. Each person you send this to counts as one "signature" If this petition gets 100,000 signatures they will keep AOL IM. If they do not receive 100,000 votes you will have to pay 15.00 to have IM (per month). If you don't care about this then please for everyone's sake help out a little. Thank you for your time and consideration and please help AOL beat their vote. send it to more people

Thumbs up

well with AOL nothing would surprise, I think that was their original intention when they bought ICQ, but then so many other messenger services hit the market they couldn't pull it off.
