    Can we get rid of the auto hyperlinks to "related products"?

    Type in subwoofer or MP3s and you get a hyperlink to related product that some vendor is selling.... Can we get rid of this obvious marketing ploy? I don't mind banner ads or popups (I can block them), but the hyperlinks make it difficult to tell if the writer INTENDED to send you to that site or if it's just a marketing ploy..
    And where does it stop? Soon we'll have every word hyperlinked! Want a Disney Mouse? Woo-hoo, already hyperlinked!
    Entire System:

    Pre/Pro: Lexicon DC-1
    Speakers: Snell E.5

    Here's more info on the green hyperlinks:

    It's a test we're running to see if users are interested in extremely focused ads. If you see a green link with a double underline, it's an automated link that is not from the author of the post.
