Yes, true, but I can be discerning about who I link to.

It wouldn't occur on any site of mine, because I would not link to a
site that was so badly broken.

But even so, if your visitor has the browser maximized, they still would
not know this was a new window. That is the point. When they find the
back button doesn't take them back, and if they are in a surfing mood,
it will be back to Google for something else to do - in your new, on-top
window.

I think we've about exhausted the topic.
