I sometimes amuse myself by signing up for their newsletter using the foulest, most obscene email address I can make up on short notice. CHM just got one of those "subscriptions" from an email address which I shall not utter here.
Those stupid popups are way, way beneath a classy organization like CHM. Sad to see.
Especially TCHM because I really had them at a higher level in my opinion and to spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what's wrong here only to find out afterwards that it was a stupid dark pattern drops them right out of the bracket of 'benign' into 'hostile'. This is the sort of thing that you break exactly once, and I really wonder which 2 bit marketeer thought that destroying the reputation of TCHM was ok.
