An interesting website you may want to know about and visit. [www.popupads.com](http://www.popupads.com)  
These are the people that sell popupads. I’m responding to a message that traced back to this group which all of the people can relate to- hatred of pop up ads. There are opportunities on this website to respond. Frankly, my first response will need to be confessed. One must treat others humanely. Nevertheless if enough people respond to these people with protest (in saluatory and dignified form, of course) it may cramp their style.

It was and is. It’s .net and not .com but when a croc sticks its head out of the mud and you pull its tail and manage to get away with it, the next time it comes up it remembers. Better to apply oneself to constructive things than harrass people like this.
