NoFollow links should be optional and not be posted to database!

q2a v1.5.1/1.5.2 is adding the rel=nofollow to links - when posting a question / answer - and saves it to the database.

This led to workarounds of removing nofollow-attributes and core hacking. And needed mysql queries to remove nofollow from all posts.

In my opinion it would be better to not add this attribute when posting, but instead add it when loading the content from the database using str_replace or approriate php features.

PS: This would also save a bit of database storage ;)
