Not worth listening to for more than a minute - even that was too much.

First why do you sometime give Tinyurl links? What's wrong with not giving the full URL. This has nothing to do with trust.

Why URL shorteners can be dangerous!

I'd rather be a chicken than to click on your Tinyurls.

I'm not suggesting that you use it, I'm just wondering if you are familiar with TinyURL's Preview feature...

With "Preview" enabled on your system, you can see the full link before actually going to site hidden behind the TinyURL.

That's better - Thanks BTW oh yes I am familiar with TinyURL Preview feature but why must I visit Tinyurl homepage to see the preview? I'm trying to make my internet surfing as less stressful & time consuming as I can :-)

I agree, but I gotta ask:

What's less stressful: Previewing pages at TinyURL or repeatedly posting as you did in Response #2?

I applaud your efforts to get people to stop using TinyURL, but alas, your quest reminds me of this guy.

Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman obsessed with the chivalrous ideals touted in books he has read. He decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. In the end, the beaten and battered Don Quixote forswears all the chivalric truths he followed so fervently and dies from a fever.

Ever faithful,

Sancho

Were or are you an English literature professor? Again, we're not worthy!

No, but I've been thrown out of more educational institutions than most people, some of them the finest in our land.
