No matter what I click or where I go, it pops right back up. That discussion we had about pushing things too far ...

Couldn't agree more. I know these are coming, but I really think you should try something along the lines of SA.
They have a great little system over there. $10 for life, $20 for a Platinum, and for $10 you can change other user's custom titles, for $9 you can have your own banner ad, etc.
These pop unders suck. Everything I do I get a pop under

_damn_ annoying, but at least Pop Up Killer does take care of it,
as it isn't a pop under, unlike the discover card ad, which I don't mind. This one is pretty annoying!

ps I did get an question correct though!

I'm outta here for now.

Here's what I just posted in other:
If I have any outstanding thread posts to reply to, they won't be anytime soon.
I have a few pet peeves in life. One of them is telemarkters. I think they are the most evil of parasites on the planet. I know people who are now having to pay for cell phone charges because of them! I know they will probably fight it, but unitl there is some legislation, that could be a problem for many.
Another big one for me is pop ups and pop unders. I understand that Geoff needs to make money to keep this place going. And as much as I hate them, he did say that he would keep them to once every 12 hours or something like that. Tonight I've gotten one every page. I hate them with a firey passion.
As much as I really enjoy all of my "friends" here, I hate these things too much to put up with them. I posted in a thread in the feedback forum and mods, if you want to close this, go ahead.
If someone would drop me an email if these go away, I'll be back. If I don't hear from anyone, it's been a grand pleasure "talking" with many of you. But, if they don't go away, chances are VERY high that I won't be back. I can't stand these things and as a general rule, I don't use sites that use pop ups/unders. I really don't get them much on Yahoo and I use Yahoo only to check email.
I didn't just want to drop off the face of the planet without say anything to anyone. I bid you good evening. Feel free to email me if you like.

Wow, there's a lot of whining going on in here.
As I said, leave the pop-up open and it won't "pop up" every time you go to a new page.
What <i>I</i> want to know, though, is...
<b>IS IT JULIET, DIANA, OR LYDIA??</b>
