Oh yeah, good idea :-) Still, I have to wonder how long tinyURLs will last. I wouldn't like to be checking back through months or even years old messages for something, only to discover a now nonfunctional tinyURL instead. But tinyURL is definitely good for short lived news items and other pages with a short shelf life.
