I dont know of any actual surveys of this type of thing, but you could
probably work towards the simple fact that there *are* popup blockers...
this would indicate that there is a market out there for popup blockers,
and therefore there are users out there that have specifically requests
*not* to have popups. You could pose that same argument regarding the
animated ads, as there are browser options that inhibit animations on
animated gifs ... not sure about flash ads though.
