I do realize what you mean, but at first I thought you meant
"elimination" in a sort of parasitic sense, like the cuckoo who
supposedly throws the hatchlings of other birds out of the nest to die,
substituting its own chicks. Clearly AOL disks cannot reproduce
independently: perhaps thay are more akin to--dare I say it?--virii?
After all, they won't stop their attacks on competing organisms until
all other life forms are destroyed, other than their hosts, of course.

Luckily I have an effective vaccine/antitoxin: I just reformat them. I
save more money on floppies that way... .
