Pop up ads; ads with sound; ads with no close button- Gone too far?

That's pretty much what I do, it just doesn't always work out well.

By the way, I love your sig, the Clinton thing.

Every normal person thinks that, it's like wanting to kill people who call during dinner to see if you're interested in a different long distance service.

If you ever get someone from MCI calling and go through to the last person on the line, please don't yell at me (or whoever it happens to be at the time). It wasn't my fault; I'm not actually MCI (either myself or whoever will state a different company name), but my job involves work related to MCI.

As long as you're not the one that dials... or the first person I talk to.

Someday, I will be so good at mind games that every time someone does that, they will go home a nervous wreck.

Well Cyclone I don't think anyone will have to worry about MCI calls too much anymore, since the MCI/Worldcom scandal has started.

And all these IE only features used in pop-up ads was one of the top three reasons I stopped using it all together. Of course all browsers that support javascript(and therefore pop-ups) support pop-ups with sound. I now leave pop-ups disabled in Opera and only enable then when needed. I even disbled them in Mozilla for the unfrequent times that I use it.

MCI/Worldcom scandals? That piques my interest; from what I knew, they merged into one company.

Ah, well, all I know is that I get the happy duty of verifying orders for customers who blatantly say to me, "I told him that I didn't want it, so I don't know how I got to you..."

Another classic: "Oh, he said just keep answering yes and I'd get a free calling card. But I didn't think he was changing my long distance."

And one I learned about recently: "He told me I had to accept this change, or he'd lose his job. I don't want him to lose his job."

It's amazing what some of these reps. will do to make your life as a third-party agent a living nightmare. Ever wonder why they're doing so poorly? Now I know.

NEway, back on topic: yes, pop-ups suck. It's about my hundredth time or so saying it; I even flamed pop-ups in General Bitching, back in the day. Ah...
