About the block lists

Kill-a-URL stops a connection to one of a list of hosts. Whether it is a direct attempt to browse there or a command to the browser from code on a web page, the connection will not happen, right? That was the whole point of having the blocklist there in the first place.

Quite true, yes. The way I read it, SeaLily wants to make that link itself to disappear from the text of whatever page(s). I do that on a regular basis with my Google results pages, eBay's "Featured Item" listings, some of my Yahoo Groups pages (I use the web interface, so as to not clutter my Inbox.) and several other places about and around the innerweb.

It's sort of like your modifying the background colors....... it's my way of getting a cleaner, leaner, meaner page that's more useful to me.
