What I don't understand is some of my father's colleagues use AOHELL. These
are supposedly sensible, professional people in their mid-to-late 50s, so
any kids they might have had who may have needed AOHELL's 'parental
controls' have flown the nest years ago. Why would a ordinarily sane person
need to subject themeselves to the masochism that is AOHELL?!
Totally stumped me, that one!

The point is he posted from a web interface, not a news reader. Blinky
missed that when he refered to the OP as "braniac". Obviously the OP had
problems with his news reader, but had enough savvy to get a message out via
Google Groups' web site.
