John Atkinson,
It's interesting to read that the Stereophile subscription pop-up is designed to appear only in the first instance. A couple of months ago I wrote to Ebay concerning their persistent sellers' pop-up and miracle- an actual person responded from Ebay! "Jim Griffith" who appears to be Ebay's Father Christmas wrote back and told me the same- it's supposed to appear once. The note said:
> " Hello Bambi,
The pop up is not supposed to be reoccurring. Apparently it is for some viewers. We are looking into it.
Regards,
Griff
Jim Griffith <"
So, I'm in the unfortunate, ubiquitous "some viewers" group that contracted the popup disease! I wrote back, asking whether the others in the "some viewers" punishment sector were also Mozilla Firefox users, but haven't had a reply. Being in the "some viewers" dungeon may be as a result of my having insulted Microsoft in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004,2005,...
I don't like to be a whiner or a contrarian, but the constant assault of advertising in every media plus billboards, the telephone, and buses has become so extreme that I tend to try and expunge it from any activity over which I have choice.
Of course, I'm also a realist and understand the need, but as the opportunities to advertise have expanded, the opportunities seized are logarithmic- and have ever noisier soundtracks.
Cheers,
Bambi B
