gooness, I've just seen this for the first time; I'm at work, and it doesn't appear on my PC at home. Anyway, I soon chased it away. But it's kind of eyestrain-inducing, isn't it.
I've just banned it too, not only is it total pain it seizes up my PC and I couldn't get on to the site at all - don't think that'll pay for anything. We seem to be getting more and more annoyances its spoiling the site so I can't see any benefit to anybody
