[TowerTalk] I think K7NV should be ashamed of this.

Kurt- I appreciate your work, in the fullest sense. And- I hope my comments 
do not cause you to pull yourself off the web, or your contributions from 
others (more worthy than I)
As I said, I do not mind the pop-ups that pay for distribution and web- 
presence, but I DO expect them to be well done. The one I objected to was 
particularly jarring, with a banner that bounced around and links to Target 
stores and Best-Buy, and one of those false "You are todays winner!" flags. 
About the only saving thing was that the banner did not cover the article 
header.
I apparently was the straw that did the final damage, but, like the one in 
the parable, not the only one, and I am sorry for that. I apologize.
Bill
