I understand what you're saying, but if a really high/significant percentage of surfers did the same thing, those of us making good money off using the consoles wouldn't be making that money, right?
I see where you're coming from in terms of consoles eroding the surfer's trust in the site that pops the console, too, but that assumes they even know what is causing the console to pop in the first place. I don't think most surfers are anywhere near as net-savvy as the average adult webmaster is, given our experience on the other side of the curtain (so to speak).
