They are so irritating, I can't imagine anyone wanting to support them by actually making purchases' Just on that subject, here's one of my pet peeves. Flashing ads/banners. Yup! I HATE 'em. And the first thing I do if I see anything flashing, is move the page down till it disappears. Don't these idiots realise that the irritation factor alone is enough to put people off? I will always consider (for a few seconds at least) a banner which is well-designed and composed, but NEVER banners or ads in lurid, day-glo colors that distract me from the page. Grump, grump, grump... mac
