Avoiding "in-text" link advertisements

I don't think this has been brought up in this particular little Opera community yet (after a cursory search), but it wouldn't hurt for me to reiterate the tip.
Most of you are familiar with those in-text link advertisements where words and phrases in an article or blog entry are underlined; when you mouseover these links, a javascript window pops up to flash an advertisement at you.
I find it far more annoying than banner ads. You can easily disable this behavior in Opera (no addons necessary!). The main "service" of these ads is IntelliTXT.
In Opera 9:
Preferences >
Advanced >
Content > [Blocked content...] >
Click the [Add...] button on the new dialog, then enter http://*.intellitxt.com/*
in the bottom pane.
Hit Enter, then [Close] this window, and [Okay] the main Preferences dialog.
Voila. No more of these content link ads from this service on any page that you visit.
