Or...you could just right-click on a link and select "open in a new tab". I believe that users should always be in control of their browsing, and giving them the option to open in a new tab/window is far better than forcing them to go to a different tab/window. Also, I haven't seen a single browser giving a user the option to NOT open a link in a new tab when the link will open in a new tab.
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

well the rel='nofollow' needs to go in regardless

i've added it twice now and it keeps disappearing....
if someone can give me a good reason why it's disappearing, fine... but from an SEO standpoint, we should most certainly have all our links having rel=nofollow attributes :p
