You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave. Check out the link to a story about a 30 year old guy who attempted to cancel his AOL service... but couldn't because the representative wouldn't let him. At one point, the service representative even asked to talk to his father! Apparently this is not an isolated incident. I don't have very high opinions of AOL, so I can't say I'm exactly surprised. And I'm almost willing to say this guy got what he deserved by using such a crappy company for so long. But that would be going too far. When you cancel, that ought to be it. No ifs ands or buts.
