Over the last few months I've noticed lots of generic terms in people's posts are now underlined, apparently with the idea of providing reference links to more information on that term.
"Tires," "radiators," "brakes" ... with all due respect to whomever came up with the Wikipedia link idea, if you're on a car forum and don't know what tires, a radiator or brakes are then you need more help than any amount of Wikipedia reading is going to provide.
This thread was prompted because I just noticed that my NAME now has an underline. Its reference has nothing to do with me, my powder coating shop, or even that infamous nudist who also happens to share my full name. It's a flippin book -- a product of fiction -- called "Elvis Takes a Back Seat" written by Leanna Ellis.
C'mon Joey! Can't you just get rid of the programming that's causing this? Most of these so-called "references" don't reference anything useful to us here and, in most cases, I believe they might do more harm than good.
I'm willing to keep an open mind though if anybody thinks they're helping educate the masses.
