*Hi DoubleP Pleased to meet you

Hi Wiked1 :-)

*I was beging to wonder if it was just me feeling that way about being redirected to dialers automaticly due to my location.

Haha! You are not alone! And while I have nothing against giving a surfer a choice, and bearing in mind that there are surfers who don't mind using diallers to connect to services, especially here in Europe, it's the way that the option itself is presented to the user - 9 times out of ten, it's a shed load of new windows, those full screen chromeless ones are my pet hate - were you have to alt/f4 to get rid of them - a lot of surfers don't actually know how to do that... and the never ending prompts to download the connection kit... I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it reeks of desperation..

*I always say opinions are based largely on the perspective of the viewer, from another point of view I'm constantly meeting Aussie surfers that have been caught out by dialers after clicking free porn links only to find that 45 mins of looking at pretty average free porn cost them $174 AUD !!! and put them in a very embarassing situation with thier partner.

Yep! I have heard many stories from people I know back home in the UK, where they have had diallers installed on their computer and it has dialled into a service without their knowledge... they find out when they get the phone bill!! Only this year I had to log on to my son's computer from here and remove a dialler that installed itself. He's only 16, he and his mates were surfing porn on his machine.. it flew him into blind panic in case his mum found out.... I'm sure there are many husbands who have had similar experiences with the Mrs!

With our Aussie Dollar rising in value against the greenback we may end up with a nation of surfers that are interested in paying for porn but are too afraid to as they have seen whats happend to others that got caught out with dialers.

Good point, the falling U.S. dollar is actually making buying porn attractive, especially in the UK..... but surfing for it is like playing Russian Roulette

*My point is ,repeat business what i aim to build with surfers

I would keep that aim Wicked1... surfers know when they have found something worth coming back to!!

:-))
