I wouldnt think the publishers would get much income from it as im sure most of us dont click on pop ups if we have no blockers maybe only by mistake!:angry:</description><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:21:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>KILLFC</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spam / popups... it's archaic and rude!</title><link>http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic288102-2-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]FreakShow!
