Disabling the referrer header does not really solve the issue as new users coming to TOTV will not and should not have done that and links will still be confusing.

Looking around there are a few sites that do this on your behalf. As an example check out:
Hide Referrer | link to other sites anonymously! - Anonym surfing - Anonymous Redirector - Hide Refer Link - Easy Redirect
Here is an example of a link we have issues with:
Spanish Springs Town Square, The Villages
Using hiderefer.com, I can create the following link:
http://www.thevillages.com/lifestyle/cam_ss.asp
Here is the source for the URL.
HTML Code:
http://hiderefer.com/?http://www.thevillages.com/lifestyle/cam_ss.asp]http://www.thevillages.com/lifestyle/cam_ss.asp
I will look into it a bit for fun, i.e., how it works, security implications, etc.
