E, I solved my personal issues with this gadget by covering up the links with css based boxes the same or slightly larger that the offending links. On the link above the box, I have even entered some directions of my own to the user on what they need to enter in the "From" field.
Thanks for your input.

The intent is that other webmasters who see it on your site can learn about it gadget and add it to their own. I agree that the presentation isn't ideal-I'd prefer that the "+Google" button below the gadget was replaced with a link to the syndication page for syndicated gadgets such as this-I think that would be more useful and intuitive than linking to iGoogle (especially for a gadget designed for syndication), and we wouldn't need the additional "add this gadget to your site" link. Unfortunately, that button and the text that appear "below" the gadget's box are not editable by the gadget developer.
