3. It's an automatic program
it prevents someone from hammering in to your account using randomly-generated passwords

7. I had that problem today, too
The more you try to log on, the longer the delay becomes. Leave it alone for an hour or two and come back to it then.

Change your passwords and completely sign out every time you finish using the computer...oh, yeah, and I'm advocating violence. LOL

12. AOL may be like EverQuest...
When you get dumped for any reason (disconnect, network error, etc.) it needs time to "figure out" that you are actually no longer online.

The more you hammer at it trying to log back in, the longer it takes to actually reset.

Give it some time....10 minutes or more and let it recycle itself.

18. I'll trade you your two for my one
On second thought, how about if I trade him for you? How would your parents feel about having a passive-aggressive, unemployed Freeper in the house?! LOL!:D
