[Ailist] Working with long links

[Stephanie West Allen]

I use tinyurl and snipurl sometimes but it is easier to hit the hit  
"Send link to this page" when you are at the site. When you use one  
of these services, it is time-consuming because you have to copy the  
URL, go to another URL, paste and use their process, etc.

On many listservs and all e-mails (as far as I know), the URLs do not  
break up so no need to use it. If it does break up here, it is easy  
to get to with a copy and paste.

You know what, this all seems so minor. I just while writing this e- 
mail got a call from my sister. My mother just died.
