John,
 
I've had the same exact AOL email since about 1992 or 93, in the  meantime I 
also had about 12-15 "other" ephemeral ISP email addresses  assigned to me.
 
How long have you had the same email?
 
Have you ever tried your ISP in the middle of rural China where there is no  
Internet connection anywhere to be found? In Europe on the Autobahn? Or in the 
 desert in Israel? Didn't think so.
 
AOL worked there for me too. And at the same time it provides  access to the 
Internet via POTS when all others ("professional" VPN,  wireless, etc) fails.
 
Also: try getting access to black-listed (censored) web pages in China,  
Tibet, etc through your ISP. No problem when you go through AOL.
 
Keep calling us unsophisticated though.
 
bye,
Said

And  wouldn't it be a GOOD thing to
give those folks a good reason to get a REAL  ISP and bid AOHell  goodbye?
