[ale] [OT] info on x10 browser popups

[Geoffrey]

I bitched at x10 because of their popup ads and received the following 
response.  Note at the bottom, he indicates you can turn off their
popups.  I've not tried this, but figured I'd share the info....

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. These ads are opened when
you visit a site that we have an advertising relationship with and they do
not track you personally. We advertise on many popular web sites; any of the
sites you visit regularly might run our ads. Because of the way the ads
work, you should only see them once a day from each of the sites they are
on.

You can remove yourself from our pop-under advertising by following the
instructions at the bottom of this page:

If you follow these instructions, a cookie will be placed on your PC that
tells us not to display the ads to you.

Regards,

Michael Cole

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
