In my opinion, a good rule of thumb when designing a user-interface, is never to unnecessarily take choice away from the user. It just pisses people off.

Also, other people mentioned popup blockers. I use Firefox, which has a built-in popup blocker. If I click on a link it gets blocked, then I'll leave that site, unless there's something I specifically want at that site, and I really want to visit it.

good post. it annoys me when i have to go adding things to popup blockers.
