A request to bloggers

Please STOP making links open in a new window! I know how to do it, so if I want to, I will. Kthx. All links on this site open in the same window. If you want them to open in a new window/tab, simply right click and select that option. If you find one here that does open in a new window, let me know and I’ll fix it.
Actually, let me throw this open to you guys. What do you prefer? Links automatically open in a new window/tab or in the same window/tab?
Further update: So as you can see, I’ve added the option to the left there. If you want links to open in a new tab/window select the box. If not, leave it unchecked. Thanks to Randomwalks for the code and Scotusblog for inspiration.

Same window. End of story. Everyone else who says any different is wrong.
(I feel strongly about this. I also happen to be right.)
Yep, that’s my view too. However, not everyone is right. For them, there’s the checkbox on the top-left.
Internal links (same site) should open in the same tab. External links should open in a new tab.
I agree w/ Bennett.
Gimme the code and I’ll implement it.
How about a third option for a poll answer:
“Some of you have way too much time on your hands”
