Well, in left-to-right cultures, like this one, left is “before” and right is “after” so a forward, outward link should go to the right, in my opinion. Outward links go “forward”, incoming links go “back”.

I agree with @sam though since we are basically _only_ showing incoming links now, it would be easier to strip it altogether, but I would like to live with it a while and see how it feels.
