I recently noticed something strange on this forum: links to a few vendors are "grabbed" and redirected to other vendors. At least, that's what I see; hopefully, someone can confirm they see the same thing (try clicking on the FIRST link in each example). Maybe, to be optimistic, the responsible company can be persuaded to be nice and turn it off? Detailed examples as follows:
VENDOR REDIRECTION EXAMPLE 1

http://us.creative.com/
this redirects on my system to:

http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2777698...reative.com%2F
and then eventually takes me to:

http://www.aperionaudio.com/landing_affiliate_wire.html
VENDOR REDIRECTION EXAMPLE 2

http://www.dell.com/home
this redirects on my system to:

http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2777698...ell.com%2Fhome
and then eventually takes me to:

http://www.ubid.com/category/listing...99&PID=2777698
This website seems to be involved with the redirection in both examples:
http://www.jdoqocy.com
and following "jdoqocy.com" leads to these folks:
