BEGINNER'S TOOLBOX

Woo, a bit long isn't it. But, just a little cut & paste will take care of it, if it warps.

This ought to be posted several times a day. But, on the other hand, we'd probably still get about the same number of people asking what tools they should start out with.

okay whatever, but from me to you it's about that you can use the feature yourself.

Long URL's are written with leading and trailing angle brackets, "", which prevent them from being word-wrapped in newsreaders. When written in this manner, they cut'n'paste into browsers without problem.

See?

Thank you for the great interjection, that does tell me something. But I just think it is really nifty as a new discovery, it doesn't harm anything, it works well, and I intend to keep using wherever feasable. No reason to fight it either.

Not until you're googling for information, find exactly the link you need, and it doesn't work anymore because tinyurl either decided to forget about it or took their ball and went home.

Of course there's "reason to fight it". Probably a losing battle, but one worth joining.
