Anti-leech.com are offering to protect your site from browsers blocking pop-ups (or 'theft tools' as they call them) - just try stealing from them with your favourite pop-up free browser. (I picked this up on the phoenix discussion forum...)"

  1. OH REALLY?!? MY B ILL IN YOUR MAIL THEN by waspleg · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    I have to pay for bandwidth to see your fucking ad; i guess that means i have the right ot be paid for looking at your fuckig ad which i didn't request to look at to begin with.. you know there was a time when intrusive (spyware) advertising didn't exist and ads themselves were subverted and the content drove the web and drove the #'s that brought the .com goldrushers which have bankrupted the web of both useful content and the driving reason for it's popularity to begin with

    i for one read less than 5 websites on a reglar basis now as a result, there is nothign but peoples vain web logs and guestbooks anymore to be interested in.. anyway the point being that unlike cable, where you pay fo ra stream of available channels, many people are still paying hourly for internet access and your lame ads cost all of us money (yes even fractions of pennies to us cable modem users ad up, just ask banks where they get their money from) and you DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE ME VIEW your shitty worthless bandwidth wasting ad..

    how's that for some greek fire you unreasonable troll.
