[thelist] JavaScript question

[Sorgatz, Rex]

Hey, I'm with ya. I'm generally opposed to popups, and I find myself
oftentimes arguing against their propogation. But I also think there are
times when they can be useful. Sparingly, of course -- and never a
spontaneous one; they should always be user-controlled.

But that's a different discussion, and I'm still stuck. 

Thanx in advance, -rex

Why?

Why can't the page just open in the window I
paste it into?

If I click on the URL from most mail clients, I'll
get a new window anyway. How is that not a popup?

Given that popups annoy users, why are you doing
more of them than you need?

Cheers
