Fine, but it shouldn't be necessary, and not everyone using the internet is a professional programmer or website teacher who knows about this sort of stuff. We shouldn't be getting into an arms race with people who want to shove their shit in our faces. If I get on a bus that says Trafalgar Square on the front, I don't want to be forced to go shopping first. If I clink a link I want to go to that page directly, I don't want to have to wade through a trough of pigshit to get there.
