Yeah, trackbacks are a really sneaky way of advertising. Can you not take the entire of the trackback code out of the standard template? The problem, as far as I understand it, is that the trackbacks aren't stored as part of your blog. When the blog is published, it does a query to check who and from where people are linking to you. Hence, without removing the link of their side, you can't get rid of the actual link. The best you can do is stop them being displayed... Erm, I can't be of much help with your earlier posts!
