Thankyou! I totally agree! And the lowest common denominator would be to post the content to the list, (or preferably to me personally and to stop spamming the list with off-topic drivel). That way I wouldn't have to fetch an external resource, be it over http or https or gopher, or whatever. Which was, ironically, one of my original rants about the proposed use of GitHub. Nevertheless, if you ARE going to post an external link, at least give people the OPTION of pulling it over https.
