These guidelines are great but none mitigate the disruptiveness and other negative impacts of today's hostile web.

It's not like I'm looking away from my monitor every 5 seconds and then completely forget where I am or what I was doing. Understanding the content is also not an issue.

The real problem is the insidiousness of the advertisements themselves.
