Even if they were completely innocent people would accuse them of slowing down traffic to other portals and there’s no way AOL is worth the trouble that would stir up. I do think IAC is probably the best choice all around. They have enough portal-compatible properties to form a nice symbiotic bond between their existing business and AOL. Not sure they could afford it but I think they’re probably AOL’s last, best hope.
