Now that said--it can get excessive. We have a policy of only one pop up per section of the website. That's not too bad.

Also the newer "pop unders" which come up under the page you are viewing are not too bad, at least they don't get in your way.

Without ad dollars--many sites would cease to exist/have to charge for membership.

I had to reply to this because that used to be my biggest gripe, pop-up ads. I know that dot.coms need to make their money but heres where we win. Get some kind of pop-up ad blocker program and install it on your computer. Bye bye X-10 camera ads (or whatever else)
