I asked that and it is in the user settings (for each user, I think.) My settings say open in new tab.

/Account/Preferences:

“Other
Open all external links in a new tab”

And if you wondered why the RRs boomed, let me quote from my “Eureka & Palisade” history, which I am halfway through:
Gross revenue: $210,000. Net Income: $107,000.

Sounds like a good business to me.

The topic didn’t state railroads so this is one of my favorites! Wonder if the Ti symbol and atomic number 22 is still active these days on the Russian market? Roosters don’t fly anyway but like how things work.
