As a consumer, I will NEVER do business with anyone who suggests they will use any trick in the book to get my money. That goes for spam and circle-jerk popup sites.

The market has spoken - they want a choice when it comes to automatically generated windows.

Tools have been provided for the market to facilitate their choice. If they want popups THEY CAN enable them.

To my thinking, anyone who blatently tries to hack their way into their customer's face is of the same breed of wreckless dinks who used every trick in the book to rebill their clients - you wonder why adult processing is considered high risk?

You made it so.

Now those who offer traditional customer value and support services to prospects and paid members have to pay dearly for the trail of crap the quick-money hacks have left behind (and apparently continue reinvent ways to do so).
dear surfer, I don't know how you found your way here but I'll explain how things work on the internet (I know it will be wasted on you, but my audience isn't entirely made up of dopey surfers)

The internet is not free. It costs money to keep a site online. The best way to make money to support your site is thru popups and exits. While the surfer may *like* to not see popups, he'd also like to not see commercials on TV.
Well, just as free TV would go away without commercials, a good bit of the internet will go away without popup ads and exits.
You see, in the end, the surfer doesn't win by blocking popups, they're just dumb enough to *think* they do.
