Hello MFPA,
I don't trust URLs, but I trust on people I know. If I get a message
with URLs from someone I know, I will click on them whether they are
long, short, tiny or (perhaps) hidden by HTML (you know, 'click HERE').
With tinyURLs you are also trusting a third party you do not know.

No, not any more. Previous versions did so but remember that now it
