why would a well wish for steve jobs be spam?

[_Phos_four_dots_]

Profile spam, first and only post, short and somewhat relevant to the thread.

Same M.O. as many of the others from a couple months ago.

(sorry, I'm not using my Mac, and I don't have here the instructions for shortening links).

Addition: there message is actually duplicated...

[Neil_Keller]

Claudio,

Mac or Win, to use a shortened URL, go to http://tinyurl.com, and follow the simple instructions.

Neil

[_Phos_four_dots_]

Or:
http://metamark.net/

or:
http://tr.im/

or any of a whole bunch of other URL shortening services:

[MichaelKazlow]

I understand the desire for shortened urls, but personally I prefer the
longer true url. Anyone that would click on an encoded url in this
modern day is truly asking for a problem---even in this thread were
regulars post. We have seen enough impersonation take place that a fast
click on an encoded url can land one's computer were the sun doesn't shine.

Just my 2 cents...Mike

[John T Smith]

What Mike said... I won't click on any link that is shrouded

An infection could be as "simple" as a computer being turned into a Zombie Bot to become part of a spammer's network... or it could be spyware that steals your login and password so the program's writer is then able to clean out your bank account

tinyurl.com offers the option of a preview.

A problem with long URL's That Mozilla products don't seem to have, it that the URL is not recognized as something unique and therefor after 72 or 84 characters in length a linefeed or return is inserted.

With Mozilla products a URL could be the true length of pi and it stays on one line. Mozilla products (SeaMonkey/Firefox/Thunderbird) are to when they se a URL such as a Mailto: http/https:, or FTP: that is treated as a unique item and therefore ever character in the URL remains on one line and does not switch back over until if see a return or linefeed. IE is notorious for mangling URL's.

Thus the need for a system small URLs.

[_Phos_four_dots_]

Firefox 3.x wraps long URLs.

[_r_harvey_]

Or just do it like this:

<a href= "long URL"> Short, descriptive text</a>
