I've never had an issue with the popup. It may frustrate some users, but the pros outweigh the cons by a factor of at least 1000:1 (in my opinion).

Besides, you need to test things out and see for yourself. Remember, the popup is not an advertisement. It's a special alert to let your true fans know that a newsletter is available. Whoever is frustrated with it probably isn't a good target for you anyway.

That's a good way of thinking about it, as a service. Good call.
