And that's why we can all safely dump anything from aol.com into
/dev/null, right? ;)




That�s somewhat to the same urban legends of spam being sourced off Asia
instead of Florida. In our research which compares a few metrics to the
number of incidents exceeding certain tresholds AOL (if we�re talking
about AS1668 here) comes up quite favourably. Not your model student but
compared to a lot of population out there, very nice.
