# You!
What's with all these sodding nofollows?

# you!
why not?

EDIT: really -- why do you think they're a bad thing?

# Me!
Because they fill my screen up with green links and also are only on the icons.

As such they are just reducing the link-juice to the donation page - why would you do that?

You've got no robots.txt file, so it can't be that you want it excluded, I can't see why you would, and if you do want less links to it then why not leave them in place, but include a <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> tag instead?

I know I am a loud arse, but I really know a lot about this sort of thing - if you tell me what you were trying to achieve when you did it then I might be able to offer a better alternative?

[Edit: gaz]

honestly, if I added extensions that I found annoying, I'd disable the extension. But that's just me.

# That's cool
It's not an extension, it's something I have written for FF's CSS, but I find it very useful in my job.

The green shit on my screen only served to highlight the fact that they were there, which is why I am here, it's not why I am commenting.
