It's a tradition, that AOL users (http://www.aol.com/) had an annoying
habit of quoting an entire message and saying "me too" at the bottom.
So geeks who had long wanted to do the same thing, but knew their
friends would beat no them developped a pseudo-tag <AOL> to poke fun,
but do the same thing.

I've heard rumours that it's appropriate (if you get your hand on one
of these geeks) to tie them down and tickle them until they wet
themselves.
