Does anyone find those pop-up ads annoying?
Does anyone find it REALLY annoying when you want to do something on the internet in as little time as possible, except that stops you because a stupid banner pops up? If anyone suffers like I do, or you don't suffer at all, then post replys here...

There are no pop-ups at Tolkien Trail or Entmoot that I have installed. If you see any, some spyware program like Kazaa must've put them there.

Have you not come to your present state by your own actions, and will also go hence according to your own actions? Anger towards another is just as if someone wishing to hit another person takes hold of glowing coals, or a heated iron-rod, or of excrement. And, in the same way, if the other person is angry with you, what can he do to you? Can he destroy your virtue and your other good qualities? He too has come to his present state by his own actions and will go hence according to his own actions. Like an unaccepted gift or like a handful of dirt thrown against the wind, his anger will fall back on his own head."

I hate pop-up adds! But my dad won't let me install one. Because he is programming one and my computer is going to be the tester.
