Hi, @bluefinstudios,

I completely understand the motivation...

What I strongly object to is the UGLY solution.

It would be much more cosmetic, and just as effective (if not more so) to bring up a dialog box warning that a user is about to "leave" Steemit. There is absolutely no need to visually burden every link with that stupid box...

And, riddle me this: WHY do links to Steemit hosted images also "feature" that ugly box?

Thanks for dropping in to comment! :D
