Just a slightly OT post here.
It isn't unusual when writing to this list to come up with a few URL's to include in an email.
The problem at times is that the URL's can easily be 200 characters in length, meaning that those reading your email must cut and paste the URL's to make use of them.
An easy solution to this is to make use of www.tinyurl.com
It's easy: cut your lengthy URL from the browser, go to www.tinyurl.com, paste your loooonnng URL, and get a short one in return.
Anyone using the tiny URL will be redirected to the original.
It's a free service, but they accept donations. Personally, I've been using it so much I gave them $10 the other day.
