I hate how its getting to the point where I go to one internet site and even before the page is done loading I already have umpteen popup windows. Then when I try closing them, more pop up. They're like friggin rabbits. I like your invoice idea. We should start a movement against spam. BTW, I thought your analogy story was really cool and very very true. It makes me want to go live where people have never heard of spam. Anyways I've ranted long enough. Keep up the good work. I agree with everyone.

With respect to the e-mail comments, it's not "You've got mail" it's "You've got spam" Rock on Chris. With respect to the e-mail comments, it's not “You've got mail” it's “You've got spam”

Like, duh. Or better, what about a screen saver that filled your screen with pop-up images so it looks like you are surfing the net when you aren't. That way you won't notice the real ones.

I still have the message in my Inbox from him from the other night when he forwarded it to me for my opinion, if you'd like me to forward it to you as proof. A retraction of your statement would be appreciated. And I can vouch for everything Chris says, Lance.

(1) I don't even *WATCH* The Screen Savers, let alone steal content from them. (2) I wrote the piece two days before the episode ever aired. If anybody's "stealing" ideas, it certainly wasn't me - and I wouldn't be so cruel as to accuse Leo of doing it. We think alike, but we're still independent thinkers.

Of course few, if any, of the lawsuits ever go to trial. The companies that acknowledge the lawsuit generally settle out of court. The companies that don't acknowledge the lawsuit are still, however, left with a blemish on their record. I s'pose I'm just reiterating Chris' point that 'net users *really* need to be more pro-active about this stuff. DonÂ’t just bend over and take it simply because you assume it to be a part of life on the Internet.

I couldn't figure out how all that could happen to one person. Then the billboard? I started thinking you were dreaming perhaps. Then it all became clear. My state (Wisconsin) has a "no-call" list for telemarketers. Where do we sign up for the "no-pop-up" list? I have no problem with banners/ads on a site itself, but pop-ups & spam are just plain evil.
