I use a flash blocker on my browser, which cuts down on a lot of
annoyance. If the content of the popup is flash based I never see it.
I just hit the dismiss [x] regardless. There are worse places than
Photo.net which use adverts you can't dismiss.

The problem I have with the ads (and this is not just restricted to
Photo.Net) is that the call to the add server often gets 'stuck' with
the result that the web page content doesn't show up at all. The only
way out is to reload the page (and hope that the same thing doesn't
happen again) or, more likely, leave the page completely.
On the whole, I don't have a problem with ads popping up in the way -
it's all a question of balance about how much I want to see something
versus how long I'm prepared to wait and how many hoops I'm prepared to
jump through. I must admit though that when I see a link to photo.net, I
probably only jump the the hoops about 50% of the time.
On the whole, I understand that a lot of internet web sites depend on
advertising and that's fine, we live in a commercial world. I also
understand where Bob's coming from and that's fine. Life is all about
choices. Nobody died and I'm still breathing so life is good ;-)
