Some requests are my command

I received a complaint today about the automated posting of links from my del.icio.us account. Now, I think it's a nifty, short-cut way of blogging stuff I have read and thought to be interesting, however at least a portion of the large audience for this site disagrees.
So I have recoded the templates for the site, at great personal cost and effort, to include the category of the article in the class of the div for the article.
Specifically, the del.icio.us links now have the added class of cat-links.
What this means is that if you have a browser from this century, you can add a user style sheet with the line:
div.cat-links {display:none;visibility:hidden;}
Which will cause the links to disappear. The obvious long term answer is to either cease posting the links (meaning I'd actually have to write more content, highly unlikely unless I outsource that task), or to provide a simple cheesy profile button tool thing to turn the links on and off as one deems necessary. I will put together a project plan and business case for both proposals shortly.
