This is the tiny URL for Eric and Peter
http://tinyurl.com/pqpjc

[What would they do without me]

H O O R A Y !

The obnoxious prick really can do it for himself.

Yes, but only when the long url is
short enough to stand on its own.
Perhaps he himself has trouble
handling his arm-length broken duds.

I have a FireFox extension that works with right click on a web
page to produce a Tinyurl. It's great!

I like the long links, sometimes you can go back a directory
level and find more info on what the person posted, pissing Eric
off, priceless.

What you fail to realise is that it's not just me that is pissed off.
By consistently posting broken long URLs you piss off everyone who has
a desire to find out what you are talking about.

You seem to fail to notice that I don't just post the tiny URL for the
site you are referring to. I unwrap the URL and post it in unbroken
form.

I do both not just as a public service but to demonstrate to you that
it is possible to post unbroken URLs. I also do it to demonstrate to
you that if your software insists on breaking URLs you can get over
the problem by going the slightly more tedious path of TinyURL. Anyone
can use TinyURL if they are so inclined.

In the circumstances, your established practice of posting broken long
URLs shows contempt by you for the others using this newsgroup.

Yup. All the signs point to this being one of Phil's little on-line
performance art shows.

You see, what you may fail to understand, it's about Phil. Everything
is about Phil. It is always about Phil. After Phil dies, it may be
about something else. But perhaps we are all constructs in Phil's mind,
and will expire with him.

See what odds Phil would give you on that. :-)

Just one, Tom. Your odd, get help.

You think I am conspiring to undermine the group
by posting archaeological topics and timely news?
Reality, I stopped posting such topics because it
looked, for all intents and purposes, two months ago
like this group has sunk into junk.

Changing the charter of the group is not hard, it
does not need to be taken up with the UUV either.

Simply change the charter, get everyone who is a regular
poster to agree to the changes and keep it someplace comfy.
That's all that happened in s.a.p.

BTW, if you want people to use tinyurls, then put it in the charter.
As long as they are not mandated in the charter what
right do you, Doug, Eric, or anyone to complain?
