Surely a popunder window is neater than a big ugly banner add at the top of
the page?

Totally not. A banner ad you can ignore or scroll past. A popunder window
you have to actively close (while still ignoring the contents -- sorry, you
can't force people to pay attention to things). Don't make me do crap work
just for visiting your site -- there's plenty of other web sites I *can*
visit that behave themselves. Plus, since a popunder gets detached from the
site that created it, it feels like you're trying to sneak something past
me, to show me an ad in an annoying way without taking responsibility.

I use Mozilla, so I turn them off anyway. But I guarantee you'll annoy
people. Is that the point of your site?
