For anyone who is in favor of popup blockers or similar programs...

Since cashquest is not keeping their popup blocker, its pretty much a mute point to discuss it any longer...BUT for the sake of perhaps enlightning the ignorant and considering the "big picture", I'll say this:

It should be pretty clear to anyone with even a tad bit of internet business knowledge that the person who would be pulling out his credit card to purchase a pop up blocker program IS exactly the person that you want seeing your pop up ads, and yet another reason why anyone who is for these kind of programs will not only hurt themselves in the long run, but also the internet as we know it.

Think for a second what would happen if a product came out that would block TV ads completely so you could watch your favorite programs witout all those 'annoying' commercials...Viewing TV would be so much easier, right? Yeah, untill CBS, NBC, ABC, and every other network becomes the next PBS...The addage 'nothing is free' applies here.

Its quite a simple formula really...You stop popups today, you stop banner ads tomorow, and you stop the life blood of the internet. Webmasters, more than any other people should understand that. Its a shame some of you are still ignorant to such simple business principles.
