I don't really mind a pop under. They pay for most of what I like on the internet. But if I have read one of them, am I likely to read the other 12 identical ads? If a clerk in a store gives you the same sales pitch over and over, aren't you likely to head for the door?

As for that method of saving clicks, yes, I could do that. But wouldn't that clear out the whole tray? I'm not known for doing things the easy way. A character flaw, I guess.
