Evidently, based on some of the response I received on my pop-up/under
rant, not *everybody* hates popups.

Nevertheless, it's encouraging to see so many online advertising folks
agree with my rather vitriolic diatribe. If the folks who should
naturally be all in favor of anything that increases online revenues are
annoyed by them, there is hope.

I really do understand the motivation behind pop-unders and ups. I just
happen to also believe their use is a misguided way to solve the online
advertising revenue problem.

Cheers,
