Personally, I think these things are worse than "real" popups because you
can't move them out of the way. One of the worst offenders is
http://www.tek-tips.com. It ##$$$%%% thing drops down from the top of
the screen and places itself right where you want, or more likely
started, to read - you have to close it.

Please, if you're thinking about doing this, don't. At least use regular
popups that my browser can block. Thanks!
