New linking practice

I think I'm going to stop making my links automatically open in new windows. I started doing that years and years ago before the advent of tabbed browsing. Despite the fact that it's against good web design practices, I thought (and most people agreed with me) that it's more convenient for the users. But now that we have tabbed browers, some people want links to open in a new tab, some people want them to open in a new window, and some people might want them to open in the same window. So I'm making my links without any target, and you can open them however you want yourself.

If you think thi s is a terrible idea, I'm willing to be convinced.
