Found this posted on another newsgroup I frequent. I hope you find it of
benefit when directing others to those web sites of interest

Is this a joke?

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.

Indeed.

But the HugeURL site (www.hugeurl.com) takes a short URL and turns it

Err... humour???

Did anyone really think the site was *serious*???? If so, cut down on the
caffeine ;-)

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.

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!

Cheers, helen s
