Please, do this!
25.05.2006
If you find yourself browsing and you find one website that opens in a pop up, and also resizes the window to get fullscreen, so it's on top of everything else you had, close the window! don't let it load or anything. Just close it and go away.

If you want to compare to something, is like buying sweets to your kid because he is crying for some sweets. If you buy him sweets, everytime he wants sweets he will cry again, and this is bad, isn't it? So, don't let the website developers use childish tricks like that to gain your attention, let them know that it's annoying just closing the window.

If we all do this the world will become better! :D

claro, por eso digo que si la gente los cierra, a los clientes les podemos decir que, si, llaman la atencion del 50% de la gente, pero otro 50% cierran la web sin pensar.
