[ ... snip ... ] I don't think I articulated my response correctly. When you read my response, keep in mind that because these ads are never being requested, they don't count as an 'impression'. Thus, the site doesn't get paid for your visit. Thus, since you aren't being impressed, and they aren't getting paid, merely blocking ads/popups/popunders, you ARE affecting that site's revenue stream adversely. And they WILL notice, if enough people do it. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
