Well...SGC, I appreciate your comment and question.<br /><br />Well, by the response I got via email, comments, phone calls, etc it seems it is at the very least an annoyance. I personally only knew of a few, but the practice was far more widespread than I imagined as blogger after blogger notified me of blogs that were messing up their rolls with the practice. When you have several on your blog roll, or reader doing it, it wreaks havoc as you try to stay updated on posts of your dear friends.<br /><br />At the very worst it causes followers who like you to drop you from their rolls. I received notice from many a blogger who had done just that and solely because of pop ups..Now, it seems to me that if you participate in "popping up" it is because you are seeking popularity, and if you lose followers because of it, isn't that quite counterproductive?<br /><br />As in real life there are those who believe they deserve more, or the rules of kindness do not apply to them. You know the ones...they are 5 behind you in line at the store but when a new line opens they rush ahead of everyone else to get there first. To some, that is a go- getter, an aggressive type who gets what they want. To others they're a rude schmuck.<br /><br />Is it a big deal? That is personally relevant to each participant in blog land. To me, it was worth bringing to the light, up for discussion, because it was being whispered about and I always believe awareness, honesty and kindness are a big deal.<br /><br />Suzanoldgreymarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797732200457673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089729732491247582.post-48564402297265235152011-04-15T10:10:51.091-07:002011-04-15T10:10:51.091-07:00Whatever!
