I'm ok if you don't use pop-ups. If you do, I hope a giant bolt of lightning 
comes from the sky and gets you and your little prius as well.

Of course, I have a philosphical issue with this. As somebody who runs
a website that uses adds to help offset the cost of the site, it
bothers me that a tool, such as this, is directly impacting not only
my revenue numbers, but also the analytics used to measure my traffic
trends.

I've known for a couple of years that up to half of my visitors
literally don't show up on most of my analysis tools. Add to this, the
fact that a lot of ISPs incorporate some form of content caching (with
a few of them actually replacing MY advertisements with their own), it
totally screws up the numbers. All we can do is make guesses as to
missing visitor information. Fortunately, I do have some server
statistics which provide good detail that AdBlock and other things
like it can't quite eliminate.
