AOLamer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An AOLamer or AOL Lamer is a person using AOL that posts flamebait or other off-topic messages in a newsgroup in order to disrupt the newsgroup.
During the early 1990s, many regular non-AOL internet newsgroup users routinely killed all messages coming from AOL as many felt that AOL Users were inexperienced and annoying.
In addition, the term AOLamer is often used as a derogatory term for AOL subscribers by users of other Internet service providers, who view AOL as a provider associated with people who know little about computers.
