How do I find out about AOL?

When AOL gave clients access to Usenet in 1994, they hid at least one newsgroup in standard list view: alt.aol-sucks. AOL did list the newsgroup in the alternative description view, but changed the description to "Flames and complaints about America Online". With AOL clients swarming Usenet newsgroups, the old, existing user base started to develop a strong distaste for both AOL and its clients. The AOL clients got renowned for their one- or two-worded replies, such as "me too", contributing absolutely nothing to the overall discussions. Thus, whenever someone today writes "AOL" in a post, they usually mean "I agree" or some intentionally stupid comment with reference to the early days of AOL clients' access to Usenet. This is frequently written in pseudo-html (arguably XML) as "<AOL>intentionally stupid comment</AOL>"
