Jon, I have a problem working through the firewall at times also. I use Norton's Firewall along with Antivirus, etc. There are some pages that seem to come sandwiched in such a way so they can slip popup windows through even with the ad blocker feature on. Not many, but enough to know that when everyone else catches onto the trick I'll have to think of something else to keep them out. I have to turn off the ad blocker to get some pages to display properly (Travelocity, for example, is peppered with little java script features that are all little "x"s when I visit the page with ad blocking on).

Does anyone who uses those things actually think they get customers? I would never patronize a company using gonzo advertising like that.

SRS
