Links with target=_blank is major annoyance. Even when using tabbed browsing
they open up a new window. And as a user you can't even tell by looking at the
link what the behavior will be. I don't see any reason to EVER let this decision
out of the hand of the user. If I left click on a link I want the page to load
in the same window/tab. If I middle click I want the page to load in a new
window/tab. Period!
