I remember when the net still had free scientific information, some pictures of mineral specimens, and some fan sites. And, OK, a couple of sites with scans of nekkid people.
It still does. But it's clogged with people trying to make a buck. As if ARPANET (sp?) was designed to help some stay at home make money selling email.

I use a software firewall, and Netscape's and IE's own blocking features. And a little program called pop-down. They block lots of that crap. I see it as a challange, when one of those pops up, I just learned another one to add to my kill file. Although, like you, I wish I didn't have to do this.
Take care.
[EDIT] I see now that this may be a specific complaint. Ah well, all may be better tomorrow, I hope. I make it a point of not being the first to click on any link I see. Esp. for emialed jokes at work -- someone else can spread a virus through our company.
Let's all be careful out there.
