But might I request that if you to a TinyURL you also include the original link. Why? 1. the original link tells you things about where you're going and can help you decide if it's worth your time. 2. in archived discussions, the TinyURL may someday be invalid, while the original URL (while also volatile) may give you enough information to find the original information if it ends up being moved elsewhere. -- David W.
