> But aren't you the same guy who's told people to use Netscape since it doesn't pop up that stuff?
Yeah, but there's a small difference: with Netscape, Burst never tries to serve a pop-up ad, which means that when it isn't clicked on, it doesn't figure into the click-through statistics.
A small difference, but the tenor of my message was supposed to be small anyway. I was trying make the point that while I'm not thrilled about it, I'm not really complaining, either. Use pop-up ad blockers, and I'll look the other way. Ideally, I won't even know about it in the first place. I'm more concerned with my own message forum being used to effectively encourage others to do the same.
You made the analogy to downloading movies off the Internet, which is a lot less morally ambiguous, but what I'm objecting to is more like posting pirate site addresses on forums operated by the movie studios.
