Hmmmm.... you got me on the internal links. But I'm not sold on the work harder issue, I mean, you just have to copy a small selection of text, open a new tab or window and paste. I frequently open new tabs or windows and paste in URL's, especially if I going from questionable sites (Ie Porn) to regular run of the mill sites.

Which makes me think, In Firefox, you can select almost anything that looks like a Url (it would seem HTTP:// or even WWW. are not required) does this also trigger a referral from the origination page / Domain? Anyone know? if it does then even auto removing the http and www is a moot point.

But the real issue is the "lowest common denominator that can't follow a simple instruction". Those that don't listen ruin it for the rest of us :(
