AT&T Pop-Ups = Annoying, but not that big of deal

Same here. Though my mom was a little more annoyed about them than I was.

I said there was nothing you could do to prevent them, only dismiss them when they show up.

It is a big deal, because give an inch take a mile - or however that phrase goes.

Once they see people as seeing this as acceptable behavior they will continue to increase the frequency and the annoyance factor.

Someone posted the e-mail address of the CEO and telephone number.

Please e-mail and call and complain - keep it professional, but make clear that this is unacceptable to be placing pop up ads on a service for which we are paying for.

Suggest that if they want to do it to give people a method to opt-out so they do not see the unwanted ads at all!

Clearly Stephenson isn't a geek (what CEO is?).

If my initials were "RS" I'd be all over the username "RS232"
...especially at my own damned company.
