You obviously have little or no idea on how the internet works -
discussion boards are not free - they are paid for by advertising,
hence the pop-ups - or are you one of those people who refuses to
watch any TV channel except BBC, after all, all the others keep
plastering adverts all over yout television?

Yeah, but TV adverts don't place "data miners" or "keystroke trackers"on your
system like some of these cookies and pop-ups do. Like the one that stuck one
on mine, grabbed my passwords and used one of my addresses to send out 700
e-mails one night when I wasn't even on line! In fact, I was in bed!
