Who here is interested (or has heard of) "Mainstream" magazine which appears to be about 17 year olds playing guitars or e-bays latest bargains in Ladies Shoes?
Bloody annoying b**tards, the pair of them.
Apart from that - nice forum - carry on the good work.

Yes - I get new pop-ups appearing with EVERY single item I click on here! When I leave this site, there are mountains of them to delete! I tried changing my settings to stop this once but it also limits other functions on the PC, so I had to leave it as is.
Bloody annoying though!

you can't stop junk mail or pop-ups no matter how many times you change your settings or use blocking software, they just change their settings to compensate and in many cases this is automatic. Most are from about 10 people in the USA. Only 10 perhaps less but the internet is so good at this sort of thing, it was developed in the 1960s to withstand 90% destruction by a nuclear attack, a message will always find a route via the few undamaged cables, so the junk mail exploits this and if a thermonuclear bomb can't stop them we certainly can't it will always find an unblocked route to our computer. The only sure way is to unplug your internet connection and that woud defeat the purpose of the excersise.  anyway life goes on  |
