Aw, good on yer.

I've just tested it myself, even going so far as to use "body a { etc. 
}", works beaut, if'n that's what you really want.  Top job.

> Is anyone going to reply to the ACTUAL SUGGESTION?

Righto.  It's crap, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.  It's 
unintuitive, it breaks in some browsers (IE will "hide" the link but 
won't show it again), it's unnecessary, it adds an extra step for users 
who're just browsing through article links, and it makes Jakob Nielsen 
cry, tho' that last one isn't necessarily cause for objection.

Nonetheless, I commend your initiative.

Cheers,
