the point is that a long URL will wrap for some people not matter how you
send it and also there is a rule that says that a URL like
<http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/>  should have < and > at each end. It is
the proper way to do it. Just because you haven't heard of problems doesn't
mean that there weren't any.
When the URL is long like some of the ones that span two or three lines it
really makes a difference. At least if there are problems in spite of the
fact that you followed the protocol it isn't your fault then. Otherwise it is
your fault as you aren't following the protocol.
