I'll take what appears to be the minority position here. Maybe I'm just lazier
than many of you, but there have been times when, faced with copying and
pasting instead of just clicking, I decide I'm not that interested and it ain't
worth the effort, when if I coulda just clicked, I woulda. But I certainly
would never exert the effort to write and scold somebody about not having a
workable link. I've got far better things to do -- like taking a nap or
wondering if there's anything on TV worth finding the remote to turn the thing
on.
Oh, almost forgot. With PC and IE some version, second link hot, first link
not.
