I quite agree. It's not my problem, it's the problem of the AOL user who
solicited mail from me and is not getting it.

Nothing I do provides me any direct benefit so I'm sure as heck not paying
for assured delivery. It all supports activities in which I'm a volunteer.
At best they lose a "fun" message. At worst, one of the soccer referees I
assign loses out on an assignment (I'm a volunteer but they get paid) -
maybe when they realize that lack of reliable mail delivery is costing them
money, they'll change.
