You guys aren't alone in thinking AOL users in general are dumb.

Browsing thru gunsamerica.com and noticed that when you go to contact someone thru that site you got to put in your email address for them to reply back to you at. Here's the tip they have for filling in the email address:
TIPS: Double check your email address. AOL MEMBERS don't forget @aol.com and DON'T FORGET, there is no www. in an email address! There are also no blank spaces and not http.

Dude that is true. I have had to deal with customers who just can not grasp that concept. They think AOL invented the Internet.

Man, if I was Al Gore I would be angry that people claimed someone else invented the internet. ;)

Someone signing up at my pic hosting site (see sig) recently sent an email to my hosting company saying "I signed up for fox302.com, but I forgot to put "@aol.com" at the end of my email address, can you fix it?"

The hosting company had to tell him that he should be contacting me, not them, about his messed up account.

I haven't gotten back to him yet.

You should add email verification with a visual verfication to confirm the account.

That little reminder was probably devised based on experience.

I love AOL users. Seriously, if it weren't for them some of us wouldn't have a job.

I wouldn't call them dumb, just inexperienced of the internet. We all had to start somewhere.
