I'd second that thought for those of us reading the messages offline on the
train on a PDA (as now) or laptop. Is it worth saving the message to use the
link later, or delete it and never know what we're missing. I generally take
the latter route thinking life's too short, but then wonder about the
subsequent conversation (what's a nED?).

Subject: RE: OT - interesting book on ebay...
Here's a suggestion for those posting URL's to which they want to send
people: how about including some information in the message that provides
some idea about what's to be found. For example, Ann, you could have
mentioned the name of the book or the author and asked if the spelling was
correct as well as including the URL. Might save some folks some time and
$$. I'm not picking on you specifically ... this has been a sore point for
me for some time: someone posts a URL with the comment "interesting." and
that's it. So folks, how's about fleshing out these messages with links in
them with a little more info?
