It’s a reference to when AOL started. Every previous year, new students got online from their university around September. Some behaved badly, but the numbers were small enough that they could be educated on ‘netiquette’.
When AOL started, suddenly there were too many newcomers, and the influx of rudeness never stopped.
I guess also students are more receptive to learning new rules than the average AOL user.
