Matthew writes: Chairman Case, the Glorious Leader and First Citizen of America OnLine, has announced that he will allow a democratic referendum in April to allow AOL users to elect a new Chairman. The stunning development represents the first time that AOL will have a democratic election and is the first time since the October 1989 revolution that overthrew the old Quantum Computer Services regime that the company will not be lead by Chairman Case.
The communal AOL grew dramatically after the october revolution, invading numerous small ISPs and even overthrowing and annexing the ancient Compuserve ISP.
However, the recent war and subsequent takeover of Time Warner proved to be more than the tottering AOL regime could absorb. Constant revolts, demonstrations, and strikes by Time Warner employees came as disgruntled AOL members defected to other ISPs by the millions, causing an economic collapse within the company and leading to the political pressure that caused Chairman Case to announce that he will be stepping down in April. However, Chairman Case remains the Supreme Commander of the People’s Army of Moderators and director of the Young AOL Pioneers.
