I knew it was off the FT site, but it was a poll where the people providing responses are essentially doing insideflyer (or whatever organization) a favor by providing feedback. My comment about the ads-free option I have with FT was to indicate that I dislike advertisements enought that I was willing to pay to avoid them.

Is there no way to not associate the advertising pop-up ads with the polls? If no other option is available, then I'll just avoid the survey requests in future.
