Okay. I've figured out how to stop all those not-really-fake-lj-cuts going around.

Every time somebody erroneously labels a link a fake cut, I'll click, compliment them on whatever they've posted, and carefully inform them of the difference between links and links that look like lj-cuts.

This will eventually lead to people just posting plain links again and not misnaming them.

It'll be much more effective if other people with no lives and way too much time on their hands will help me in my task. Any volunteers?

(Incidentally, I seem to be typing faster. Cool.)

I get far more annoyed by people who make links open in a new window and don't warn me.

Oh god, I hate that. Newsflash: If we want our links to open in a new window, we'll do that ourselves.

Exactly. It's particularly annoying for me because as a general rule I do open links in a new window (well, tab.) So if I am clicking on the link? It's because I want it to open in the current window.

It also pisses me off because it drives me nuts when my M$N windows cascade (yes, I am aware I can turn it off) and a link opening in a new window can cause that to happen. And closing the window doesn't always rectify the situation. *Stabstab*

Fuck I hate that. And EVERY TIME I tell someone "hey, your cut isn't a cut, it's going off the liverjournal domain to god knows where" I get no response.
