It's not the Spam I want to see, but if I want to see a page, I don't expect
to see it blocked by my ISP just because it has pop ups. I have some
webspace (free) which opens up 2 windows and, occasionally, a download for
Gator-a quick click on the 'X' is a small price to pay for 100mb of free
space for me, and the information my site offers to the people that visit it
