Aah,
the fog lifts...
You give us the goodies for free, then take them away, us addicts NEEEED them, so then you come up with a way for us to get our fix
Seriously though, all the time and effort you put into this, I agree.
We have no dammed pop ups and adverts to get in the way, and up till now YOU have been funding our addictions.
Brilliant idea, and I think you deserve some of your outlay back.
This site would have cost a hell of a lot of ££££'s of any webmasters time.
