I'm glad someone asked about this! I find the Netscape pop-up box very
annoying and intrusive. Sometimes when I sign onto the Internet through
Netscape and I quickly enter the URL I wish to visit instead of waiting for
Netscape to load completely, this box pops up and resets the URL address
back to Netscape and I have to start all over with typing in my desired
URL.

If this model is used for future advertising, I think users will become
very irritated. It will become a habit to click "cancel" without even
reading what is offered. Please don't everyone start putting up boxes!
Just my $.02.
