    There are much worse enemies out there, like Underhand Networks (oops I mean Undertone Networks). These people have figured out how to get popup ads past the Google toolbar blocker. Hey idiots, if I went to the trouble to install a popup blocker, what makes you think I'm going to click on your popup ad, except to close it? I hope the era of annoyance crap flood marketing comes to an end, but I think I'd be naively optimistic to expect it to happen anytime soon.
