For people who use firewalls, like ZoneAlarm, Norton, etc, (or browsers that have the blocking feature, like Opera, Firefox) they can chose to block the referrer header that gets sent every time you request a webpage. Since the referrer tag shows the website which contained the link to the website you're visiting, some people chose to block it for privacy/personal/odd reasons.
