Of course, I feel the same way about most commercials on TV, and a lot of junk mail I get via snail mail. I guess it only takes a very small percentage of responders to make it pay off for the advertiser.

True 'nuff.

Of course, with TiVo, I don't watch too many commercials on TV anymore, either. And, with the Google toolbar, most pop-ups are blocked, too.

I kinda like the popups. Closing them gives me something to do while the page loads.

I'm using SafeGuard Pop-Up Blocker, and apparently it learns to let through anything I "tell" it to let through.

Pop-Up Stopper (not to be confused, etc.) had to be told every time to let through what I wanted to let through, never learning the difference, and NoAds had to be told what NOT to let through.

Everybody claims MSIE is the pop-pp-unprotected browser, but my wife, who uses Netscape 7 gets pop-ups all the time.

What's a pop-up?

I use Apple's Safari, we don't get popups.

When I go to another person's computer I am startled by the number of those damn ads.

I have not seen a popup in about a year I guess.
