Couldnt agree with you more. That is fukn irritating, because most sites dont make you hit back....so youend up closing the window out of habit half the time.

where are you? we have it here in minny. more generalizations about the north i guess. you don't seem to like the north...

WTF is a mr Pibb?  I consider myself a man of the world. Helll...my six yr old did 4 countries in a month and a half this summer....but I never came across that Pibb guy

Mr. Pibb is offered at my local Wendy's!  lol!!!

Mr. Pibb is owned and distributed by Coke. Up here, Dr. Pepper is distrubuted by the Coke dealers while Pepsi does it in the south. Up here in the northern midwest, Coke pretty much has the stranglehold that Pepsi does in the south. Since they have Dr.Pepper already on their distribution ledger, they don't spend the money on Pibb, since Mr. Pibb is to Dr. Pepper what Sprite is to 7-up.

Personally, growing up in the south, I miss Pibb. Tacobill, if you don't know what Pibb is, remember the old Dr. Pepper? before they changed into the cough syrup tasting crap? That's what Pibb tastes like today.

Links are here if you want to get the unedited version.

North Dakota.  Job brought me up here 6 years ago and I've hated it since day 1.  In April, I finally got approved for the transfer to PA that I've been waiting for.  Can't wait.

Not to go back on topic, but the sole reason I think it's a good idea to have links open in a new window is so people don't get taken away from the site. From a webmaster's point of view I have links on my site setup that way.
