DB: I didn't realize I was going to hit a nerve with this post. This was not at all a shot at your site, but an appeal to the membership to help me out if others noticed the same thing happening to them. It would appear that the former is how it was taken. I can assure you, there was no hidden disparaging message in my post. I am not "a whiz kid" when it come to the inet, and pop-ups are a new phenomenon to me. I have no idea where they come from, and as you put it, "We do not use po-up ads" implies to me that certain sites use them and others do - this is news to me.

To the members who are more literate than I, which is probably a substantial number, the pop-ups are a green "SAVE" with a dollar sign, or "TopText iLookup Offer" and it is always some company trying to sell me medication. Any offer to help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I use MS IE, version 6.0 with an automatic link to the MS site for upgrades/downloads.
