From all of my encounters with scroll bars, you have to click AND HOLD to scroll. Much like the one to the right as I type this.

Now, with every experience I’ve ever had with click ads, if you click AND HOLD, it does not launch the ad/site/popup.

I wouldn’t call it misleading for the fact that if you treat it like it is a real scroll bar, it won’t pop an ad.

Anyone agree or disagree?

Not only is it misleading, but when feedburner launched it this morning, they dropped about half of their subscriber counts to almost nothing. Sigh.
