marahmarie@rocketmail.com BioTestimonials
"[She's] the best thing that ever happened to us" - Ted Leonsis
"Useful and interesting" - Joe Manna
"Angry with AOL? Here's solidarity" - Free Lists
"Details the wreck of the 'AOL Fitzgerald'" - The New York Post
"Removes AOL in a hurry and picks on us, too" - Yahoo! Answers
One line from one flimsy old book haunts me: The title of it was The Cider House Rules and the line was, "I want to be of use." I read it about four years ago, and if that line isn't life-changing you're either dead or already making yourself as useful as you can - aren't you?
Hopefully my blog is "of use" to you - that's why it's here, after all. I've written it almost entirely for people who want to quit AOL. If you don't think it's useful, drop me a line and tell me why not.
Comment policy, 12-09: Comments are screened and probably won't get unscreened for a while. Check back in 2010 for any changes.
Email, 12-09: If your email is about issues you're having with AOL check my blog for a response, since I often write a post in addition to, or instead of, personally replying to you (all of my reprinted email with questions from readers is here) - but I will always ask you if publishing your email is OK before I go ahead and do so.
To protect your privacy I do not use your real name on my blog unless I ask you if I can and you don't object.
Email addresses that are published on the Web are prime spam targets so I redact all email addresses automatically (for the record, no one has ever asked me not to redact their email address).
NEW! I'm on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/marahmarie
NEW! Bookmark this (it almost always needs updating, but it's still better than nothing) in case LJ goes out for good.
