Several times now, I&rsquo;ve been reading these Forums at work, when suddenly some rockin&rsquo; music comes blaring out my speakers without warning! This is <i>unacceptable</i> in a business environment. We&rsquo;ve had conversations with very important clients interrupted by this.

Websites, especially business-oriented websites such as this one that people use to support their business endeavors, should <i>never</i> emit so much as a beep or click sound, let alone blaring music, without the <i>express</i> permission of the user (<i>e.g.</i> &ldquo;Click here for music&rdquo<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>!

It&rsuqo;d be one thing if these ads were served by an ad server that you had little control over (though I&rsquo;d complain mightily to the ad server people if I were you, were this the case). But these are <i>your own ads</i> for <i>your own products!</i> There&rsquo;s simply <i>no excuse</i> for this! It&rsquo;s <i>highly</i> inconsiderate of you. I thought better of you.
