Well, you're not the first, that's what I've been doing. I just put it in
some remote virtual desktop, never to see it again.

They probably test if you load the correct images. If you don't they pop up
a window. The problem is that the window has a random name, so you can't
write JavaScript to close it. But maybe you can write JavaScript that
changes
the banner to a pic of your own (a title or something) when the page has
loaded.

Hmm, this sig looks like it just being, uh, well 'produced', by that
chicken, have you ever condidered turning her around?
