There's lots to be said about this topic - it's part of the whole 'commercialisation of street art' debate, and it's also interesting that many artists say that it was their frustration with the way that public space is saturated with advertising that impelled them to become artists who work in the street in the first place...

It should only pop up the very first time you visit. I put it there a while ago because a lot of my friends and family have no idea what RSS is and didn't otherwise realize that they can receive the posts through email. I'm planning on a redesign of the site very soon though and I will probably remove the popup then. Fair enough Ron. It should only pop up the very first time you visit.
