It's not a joke - that's a realistic nuisance people face when URLs are so long that they span multiple lines in a newsgroup message, and thus can't easily be cut/pasted or even double-clicked due to the line feed character in the middle. The above description sounds like the "tinyURL" site, which takes a long, multi-line URL and spits out a short one that's easier to send in emails, etc. But the HugeURL site (www.hugeurl.com) takes a short URL and turns it into a LONG one! (Look at the site - that's what it says it does.) WHY?? It has to be a joke. Joyce |

(Look at the site - that's what it says it does.) WHY?? Err... humour??? Did anyone really think the site was *serious*????

Well, that was my first response (see previous post of mine) - I asked
if it was a joke. Someone else replied that it wasn't... and the rest is history. Joyce Having re-read my response to you Joyce, I can see it could read as harsh. I apologise, it wasn't meant that way. I plead temporary insanity due to imminent threat of flooding!
