Well, at the moment I'm a bit confused as to whether it can be easily
switched on and off or not. Matt said in the other nofollow thread
that it was all done by filters, so they could be easily removed, but
now some people in this thread are saying its not that simple. I guess
I'll have to check the latest copy out of CVS and give it a try,
unless someone can confirm that it is indeed just a filter.
