They've been using that "please come back" phrase for some time
when they provide links outside their site. As far as I've noticed,
they always put these at the end, not in the article itself. I
didn't think much of it until you brought it up, but I suppose it's
a conscious effort to both "keep the viewer" and "provide newby
advice" so you don't get "lost in space".
