This is a note directed at AOL users.  And any service owned by AOL like Compuserve etc....

I spend a lot of time doing my best to help you AOL users get signed up and be able to view images in the Autonerdz articles etc, etc.

The registration system on these forums works great, as does the system to sign up to read the articles on The Creative Lab Scope Technique Page.  They are two different systems though and you must register for each separately.

I'm sorry that I cannot stop AOL from censoring your mail.  Once your registration password is sent to you, I have no control over what happens.  AOL even blocks the Ecommerce receipts from their users when they buy something online.  >:(

None of these things are my problem, but I don't want anyone to be left out, so I do my best to help you.  However, I can't help you if you don't help me.  If you don't send me any alternate contact information like a phone number or something, you will just sit there wondering what's wrong and why I do not respond.   :'(

Trying to describe to you what you are missing in your Internet experience is like describing a rainbow to a blind person.

If you are running a business and have an AOL address, no one in the Internet community will take you seriously.  They will just laugh at you.  That's because they are outside in the world of color and you are locked in your black and white padded room which has been 'sanitized for your protection'  :P

They laugh, because you have the key.   ;D

I am replying to this to bring this back into the present.  AOL's aggressive email censorship has only gotten worse and I can't help you if you don't help yourself and dump AOL.  The problem extends to all AOL clones, CompuServe. Netscape, etc.  

You will NEVER receive Email reliably.  What is blocked from you will depend on what day it is.

May I suggest Earthlink?  There, you are in control of what you will be allowed to receive.
