After my recent decision to drop ActiveWin.com, I sent them an e-mail complaining about advertising tactics and then blogged about it:

Today, I got a very good e-mail from them:
"Shawn:
Based in part on your feedback, we’ve removed the popups from the news and comments pages.
Best regards,

So I am back on the ActiveWin.com wagon. I like getting real results from an e-mail.
