What I don't get is why the editors didn't realize exactly this before they went to all pop-ups all the time. What good is ad revenue if you lose readers ? You woulda thought that everyone in the world would understand the obvious.

Advertising money. That's why. Sad thing is, they don't ever seem to realize that folks will go away if it becomes too big a pain in the @$$.

Basically it has become unusable. Pop-Ups when you go to the site, sometimes full screen, which not only must be cleared away to even begin to read the stories, but which sometimes return even after they have been removed. Then, when you finally get to an article and try to format it for use in an e-mail, there usually is at least one more pop-up that simply cannot be gotten rid of, no matter how many times you click the little X. No idea why the Times of India decided to ruin its site this way.
