You read my mind.

The problem with too many is they only see the 1 - 1,000 who actually sign. They don't see all the people who see it as a problem and never come back to the site. Which is very important as lots of stats will tell you that few people sign up on their first visit, the buyer is a cautious person today. Pop ups are just another reason not to buy.

Regardless of what some sponsor tells you so he can get the lousy traffic from pop ups.

That says something as well.
