The relevance of that is ... ? in 1995 it would not be surprising to see software fail to properly handle wrapped urls since at that time, urls were new and computers were fairly limited. in 2015, there is no excuse for software to not properly handle urls since urls are everywhere and computers are *far* more capable. in fact, there's nothing extra to do, since the capability to parse them is built into the operating system so software only needs to enable that and it's done. |

New readers are all we are concerned about at the moment. nope. it's both. it's really the browsers that matter since without a browser, a url is of little use, regardless if it's wrapped or not. browsers don't care, so a copy/paste of the multiple lines, wrapped or not, works just fine. replace what you're using with software that isn't broken and/or complain to the authors to fix the bugs. do not require other people to adapt to your crappy software.

I don't like it but I put up with it. some wrap but that does't matter. however, i've never seen one add hyphens, which is *very* broken. what moron would write software that does that??? I also try to _help_ other people with the problem by posting unwrapped URLs where previously they have been wrapped. i try to help people by making them aware that their software is broken and that by replacing it with non-broken software, their problems *go* *away*. |

For the same reason that someone would type everything in lower case: because they can't be arsed to change. not even remotely the same and totally irrelevant to the topic. |
