Was there ever any doubt as to why there's no way to turn off pop-up ads in IE? ----- Steve

It was meant to be a marketing test to see if people wanted to buy travel memberships. I'm just following orders - I expressed the liklihood of failure and said an offer badge on the purchase confirmation page would be much more polite. But what do I know - I just write code. I'm not in "the business" group. The test has been a huge failure - nobody wants to sign up - now they wonder why so I've been tasked with tracking who turned down the offer so we can follow up with dead tree spam. Clueless. The tree of research must from time to time be refreshed with the blood of bean counters. -- Alan Kay
