I read them, but when I see something like this:

http://www.avguide.com/review/lg-infinia-8500-series-thxisf-certified-lcd-hdtv-tpv-91 I have to ask what the extra information "?src=Playback" is being used for, and why the plain link without the extra information wasn't just posted?

Playback is the e-magazine distributed by the AVGuide.com folks. Many of the
articles in Playback refer the reader to the main article at AVGuide.com. When
you access the AVGuide article from Playback, the added notation appears on
the link. Now, isn't that sinister?

Not sinister, but as I suspected the entire link is in the form of an affiliate link, whereas the shorter form/general link removes the affiliate information but still works just as well.
