It's a wonderful way to get people to leave your site immediately. It showed up before I was even a paragraph into the article. First off, I have no idea if I even care to get updates from you guys at that point, because I haven't read anything yet. Secondly, I ended up not reading anything, because as soon as it pops up, I left, as I'm sure the majority of other readers did as well.

I only came to the comments to make sure someone pointed out how awful that dialog is.

So true. As soon as I saw it I backed out, and it leaves a really bad impression. Let me reveal something important: I just want to read the post. That's it. Simple, right? You'd think bloggers would be able to figure this out.
