I was actually trying a bit to fix it.  I'll get out of it though.  :-)

Maybe, but is there a real disadvantage to displaying all of them?  If
they hit a "related links" page, it will hit the DB with the same query
all over again.  The query you have on the article page will already
fetch all the related links.  The only additional resource you'd be
using by showing them all is more bandwidth, which is negligible unless
it has like over 50 links.

Just a thought...
