[capt. norm]

I'm sure you're right. I usually get them while following links out of FreeRepublic.

There are some sites I visit that litterally dump spyware & pop-ups so fast that I had to disengage the sound on my "Pop-Up Kiler"

I am about to start contacting the advertisers on these things and letting them know what kind of impression they are making. I don't think they have a right to use bandwith I pay for to stick their stupid ads in my face.

I am of the opinion that this is just going to keep getting worse until something is done about it. Right now, there's nothing stopping them.
