Yes, some excellent pics. The caged tiger, however, doesn't make the
cut. Sad to see and all, but it doesn't make the cut.

What's the use of getting a tinyurl if one is going to publish the full
URL?

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

Because posting the real URL gives you some idea where the tinyURL will take
you which usually is long and a bit more discriptive which helps me decide
where or not I;'ll bother to click the link. It can also give you an idea of
whether or not you're going to a spam site or somewhere were you don't realy
want to go.


there is no need for tinyurl on usenet or any other place that is not
space-limited, and as you point out, it's a bad idea because you never
know where it might lead.

simply delimiting the url with angle brackets is all that's needed.

The problem being, that even for those of us who use delimiters 100% of the
time, and use compliant Usenet clients, many times, the URL is inexpicably
broken. Many times that break, even with delimiters, can be compounded as a
thread grows, when responders use a mix of non-compliant Usenet clients. So
there are times, with long URLs, even when delimiters have been used
properly, that a TinyURL can make life a little less frustrating for many
viewers. Even if you keep telling individuals that their Usenet client is
broken, and they should get one that is compliant, they are going to continue
using whatever is convenient for them. No amount of foot stamping is going to
change that.

....unless you just want to use TinyURLs as an argument ignition point.

it's only broken if the software being used is broken.

it's their fault, not the person posting.

in other words, they knowingly will continue to use broken software
that ****s things up for everyone else. that's obnoxious and rude.

A killfile works well in a lot of cases.

It is rare that I use a killfile. I have one thread and one individual
in my KF.
