I write to AOL

Dear AOL,

I was astounded to learn that your company still exists when I read this morning that you have purchased HuffPost and put Ariana in charge of all of your editorial content. The Twitter machine says you are paying more than $300 million. 

With all due respect, you could have had DovBear for a whole lot less. 

That is all,

DB

PS: You still owe me for the big dent you put in my stock portfolio ten years ago. And let's not even discuss how you usurious persons born of unmarried parents once charged us $5/hr just to go online and chat with people.

PPS. You must be kicking yourself about FaceBook, eh? That whole "closed garden" thing they have going was your shtick at the beginning. Social Network could have been your story.

PPPS Regards to Steve Case
