My husband is a toxicologist.  He got into a weird conversation yesterday
with someone who claimed to be writing a paper and had a bunch of
questions---dh refused to answer the personal questions, and referred the
weirdo to other sources for the rest of the questions.

<<Should I report the conversation to AOL?>>

Yes.

<<Should I warn breastfeeding women that some perverts "get off" on
breastfeeding women?>>

No.  Not unless you want to scare them!

<<Is this a concern for breastfeeding in public?>>

Not in my seven years of public breastfeeding experience!

<<Sincerely,

 Margie on line, who is contemplating removing my profile from AOL>>

Margie, go for it.  I think those profiles make people vulnerable to
predators and impostors---in the on-line world, anonymity with strangers may
be the best approach.

Best wishes,
