Just be sure to download whether from the WP Themeviewer or the author#s site.

It's not something you could likely do by accident (e.g. You would have to link to hundreds of sites, or some really adult-rated/spam sites). The people who made the sort of themes I talked about knew they were doing it. They weren't worried about their users at all.The users of your themes will be fine. :)btw - You have some very nice themes on offer at your site. My favorite is the latest one; very clear and bright. Looks great. :) Don’t worry about that Matthew, it won’t be a problem. :)
