We have temporarily agreed to serve a limited number of popup ads on
iWindsurf.com. Based on customer feedback, this may or may not continue
long-term. We will be evaluating whether keeping the popup ads on our site
is reasonable, by considering: the feedback from our customers, as well as
the fact that popup ads really can help keep our costs to customers low.

Any feedback can be sent to: <feedback@iwindsurf.com-DeleteThis>.

Note: Our policy is to be extremely selective about which popup ads we are
willing to run. The AT&T one for example, could be of potential interest to
customers since we are working on making our website WAP [wireless web]
enabled next year.

Subject: popups

Jim + crew,

I understand that you need to make a living, but
I really don't like the new popup ads on the website, they are just too
much.
I might cancel my membership over this.
Since I pay iWindsurf directly, I expect to have a hassle-free session
at the website.
One thing I love about the web is how it's quick and easy and quiet, a
haven of peace in this crazy world...but popups intrude on that fast and
painless functionality. There's already half a screen of BS I have to
deal with before I can get to the nuggets of info I want...
I find the popups irritating as hell, like the heavy traffic on the way
to the beach.

Please reconsider your popup policy. How about no popups for paying
customers?

Bottom Bob
