Nope. It's less ironic than googling "google" to find the main site (which a
lot of my less-tech-savvy friends do), and search engines are the best
source of info on these topics.

The
question is, do Google, Yahoo!, and/or Microsoft follow
rel="nofollow" links?
The answer to this, from a quick Google, appears to be no, yes, maybe
respectively. So it will help a bit, but not as much as it might.
Is it just me that finds it ironic that we're solving problems with
search engines by Googling them?
