Ya... if you sign up for a reoccuring service, it's your own fault... caveat emptor and shit...
Though I do think that a more respectable company might realize that when a user teminated their subscription to their overall service, they should also cancel all subservices.
But I agree 100% with Elli - AOL's never really been a "respectable" company in any sense other than their smart business tactics... though they charged an assload for it, AOL had a decent little pay-BBS going before the internet hit mainstream... and when it did, they did their best to maintain and keep people in their little "cave" in the online world... I remember using free tiral after free trial jfor their downloads - and realizing how frikkin slow their internet services were when compared to services I could get for free from a local BBS.
That mentality still exists to date, I think... their perversion of IE still doesn't integrate with some internet standards.
Sure, they've done a lot to bring the modern online world to Joe-"I don't know shit about computers"-Average... guess you can respect that, too... but, having watched them for the last decade and a half, it doesn't surprise me in the least that they'd try to rip off Joe's wallet when he's already out the door.
