Right, and you best assume that those type of user have no idea how to
manage an extra window either, so it's doubly rude to force one on
them.
Many a time I've been told of naive users who couldn't understand why
their Back button no longer worked, so the only way out that they knew
was to exit the whole browser and start again. They had no idea that
the original browser window was hidden underneath the new one that the
misguided author had forced on them.
