Have you checked out the website that Little_Nicky suggested?
Eric,
I looked at it maybe 6 months ago and I just did not care for it. One
of the items I was concerned about was the issue of hidden URL's.
Myself I don't like clicking on an essentially hidden URL. Myself I
would (and have done in the past) cut and pasted long URL's. Call it
paranoia but too many phishing going on out there. The other item I
was concerned about was how long it stayed on the server (TINYURL) it
was not clear to me how long it was good for. I know that we "gently"
remind users to hit the archives and if they need the info and it has
evaporated off of tinyurl it won't do anybody any good. At least if
you get the person to the right server (no guarantee of course) they
might be able to find it themselves. As we have seen on here the
archives have now been split and that means quite a few postings and
more to do research on.
