Why do you need the long one as well? Serious question. If people need
both URLs for some reason I'll post the short along with the long URL, all
the time.

I just like to know what I'm clicking. The short version obfuscates
that. (Yeah, I know someone could post a different long URL than the
short one, but most troublemakers won't go to that much trouble.)

I see what you are saying. I never gave it much thought. I just assumed
the shorter link was convenient and the usual C&P of a long link was
tedious. I'll keep this in mind from now on. Thanks for your thoughts and
input.

Just tell us what it is, or give us some idea! 'Article from the
Portland Gazette' or whatever is enough to satisfy me... but if
someone just says 'see this' I never know if it's someone's idea of a
sick joke, so I don't read it.

I kinda thought the ;) in the subject header would give people an idea it
was a joke, especially with the OT: in the header. Well, I'll be much more
careful about what I post in the future.

I know, I've just never thought about posting the entire URL. It's no big
effort and I'll do it from now on.

And when it sticks out the back end like that, the law says you have
to have a little red flag hanging off the end. I guess it's for other
guys coming up behind you in traffic. If it's wider than usual, then
you have to put a big sign on the end that says "wide load."
I don't make the laws, I just report them. No, seriously...

ROFL... Well, where I come from a red flag hanging off the end (so to
speak) has an entirely different meaning.

The flaw with this diet is that many young kids
today are seriously overweight so eating like them
is not such a hot idea.
For kids, as well as adults, the key to maintaining
a healthy weight is living a healthy lifestyle that
includes good quality excercise on a regular basis
and eating enough food to get all the basic nutrients.

For future reference, you can shorten up the STL Today links by deleting
everything after the OpenDocument:
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/ne...47?OpenDocument
Still fairly long, but not quite as long.

That's how the whole discussion started. Some people dislike cloaking
URLs, because you don't know what it is, so they like to also see the
actual URL.
