Ow, God, I hate it when an author does that to me. S/he has no right to do that. I can deside for myself perfectly well (a) if I want a link to open in a new window and (b) if I want to return to a previous page or site. And if the content is useful to me, I will return there. If not today, some other time. On the other hand, if a site tries to trick me into opening another window for links outside their domain, that is a sure guarantee that I will never return to that site again ever.

So, please, if you figure out a way, implement and do let me know the URL of your site. I then know that I can safely avoid to visit it ever.
