Dear Starchild and Everyone Else;
Here are the web site urls courtesy of tinyurl.com - for everyone - please - everyone - in the future when using long urls go to www.tinyurl.com and get the url squeezed down as - yahoo groups - thank you very much - has a bad habit of breaking the url's into bits and pieces - yes you can cut and paste - but why not just use tinyurl.com as a courtesy?
Thank You

Ron,
I can see your point, but it's also nice in many cases to be able to just look at a URL and see what site it goes to, which a tinyURL address doesn't tell you unless you click on it. Just yesterday, for example, Derek posted an email about a new FBI spy program. Without seeing the URL I might not have realized I'd already seen this fun spoof, but as it was I saved myself the trouble of checking it out again. Also if I just glance through an email and see a web address and don't immediately go check it out, I may still remember the site and visit it directly later when it's more convenient, after I no longer have the email in front of me.
Love & liberty,

Dear Starchild;
Then as a courtesy do the full url and the tiny url as doing the tiny
url takes a another couple seconds and then we don't end up with
broken mangled rendered url's courtesy of yahoo. Tah Dah
And as mentioned it is a courtesy kinda thang... :-0
