I also agree, banners have never really annoyed me excpet in the instances

where they are placed at the top of the page, and the browser wont display

the rest of it until the image is fetched. This is particularly prevelent

in www.developer.com and associated sites. Their Ad server is sometimes

slow in responding, and because there are no HEIGHT WIDTH tags on the

image, it leaves you waiting to see the page because of the ad. now this IS

an intrusion and really gets my back up.


>But those popup windows, horrible....


Absolutely. Netscapes use of these has driven me bonkers.
