i don't think that Dr. Zik is refering to a pop-up.......it's a wide, green banner just above the linking images on the FreeStuff pages that reads something to the effect of purchasing something from the Online Store to make the banner go away........and i have to agree with the seemingly unanimous opinion.......the items that we get for free could very well cost quite a bit elsewhere......this community has been blessed with more talent that can ever be accounted for, and a big, honkin' green banner is much better than other, more expensive alternatives...........
