LJ linkjacking update

[gridlockjoe]

According to this, the Javascript in question was supposed to have appended LJ's affiliate tags only to links that did not have affiliate tags. The code was pulled when it was discovered that it didn't. Then the redirection was discovered, so LJ says they are not going to continue to use the service.

Thanks for keeping us all updated, Joz. LJ sure seems to like the sensation created when they shoot themselves in the foot, don't they?
