While I would say that using a shorturl on an e-mail site is a bit
apropos, I would disagree with the short-urls automatically equal spam.
They have their time and place, notably in portable communications. I
would wish that more clients would include software to automatically
lengthen out the URL in a mouseover, though.

The real, non-scam site URL is rather short already, weighing in at 58
characters.

Again, the point of the Groklaw article is to request for assistance in
sorting and cataloging the Comes v Microsoft material - scam urls and
scam distros not withstanding. The digitization and publication of
these court records, while maybe not interesting, is directly relevant
to pretty much all aspects of OOo use, but especially regarding
interoperability.

It's not very smart to either send or follow the scam links nor to
tolerate people that, for whatever reason, send scam links to a public
mailing lists.
The point of the Groklaw article is to ask for assistance in sorting and
cataloging the many tens of thousands of pages of court evidence saved
as court evidence for the trial Comes v Microsoft. Financial assistance
helps, too. The recorded evidence documents as fact a lot of the
intentional and apparently malicious efforts to hinder compatibility.
