This is very true for most of the people including myself.
However being a hypermart member myself I would like to add that
Hypermart gives YOU an option to choose between a pop-up
and a banner on the page (!)
If it gives any solace to pop-up enthu's (short for enthusiasts!)
now with navigator 4.0, one can actually place a pop-up exactly at
the place one wants it to appear (read: pop-ups can be less iritatin'
- IF there is any such thing called "less irritating.")
For Mark and people who don't like them... there are softwares that
one can use to get rid of pop-ups, (if one cares to use such a
software,) one such is Pop-Away (of course the hosts won't like you
to use these.)

Yes and I would suggest Cybergold, Ecentives, Bonus Mail, NetProspect
and more like these since Hypermart is essentially a "business" host
and people there generally look forward to make money.
People talk of marketing products - giving users what they want.
Has ANYBODY ever thought of advertising that the user WANTS(?!!)

Well... if you (all you guys on this list) found this mail
interesting/ informative/ thought-provoking... which <ahem>/ <g> it
is, since its made its way on this honorable list! ...you'll be
amazed to know that it comes all the way from Bombay, India !

Hoping to contribute more positive stuff here on online-ads in the
future.

members! Your members are as intelligent as they come and would like
to asses the how's, what's, who's and wherefrom's. Thanks!
