Not all sites that jam stuff down your pipe when you hit them, are worthless. Many newspapers do it, for example.

I wonder how the ecommerce community feels about such limits?

Sorry, I should have used www.anysite.com. Of course all sites that use pop-ups aren't worthless.

Besides, how much bandwidth could the pop-ups really use, especially if you had a blocker? Would it even be remotely material?
Are there blockers available that don't download the ad first, before blocking it from being displayed?

If not, perhaps we'll need a "DoNotPop.gov" registry for IP ranges.
Well, you're probably right, still, if you get visit www.worthlesssite.com and it pops up an ad, that ad is part of visiting the site, just like the overly large jpg of its logo and the cheesy midi music attempts to play in the background.
