How much would you care to wager that this slime-ball already had a DUI
driving record? The (only) good part is that apparently they are going to play hard-ball with him. -- - GRL "It's good to want things."

Of course you could post both.

Now they've taken the First Amendment and I can't say anything. |

If that is the case, as the service becomes more popular and used more and more, their URLs will cease to be so tiny. Another reason to post both the original URL and the "tiny" one is that some people are afraid to open, or are blocked from opening, tinyurls. You may claim the url is a nice little website about bicycling in the rain, but evilly, you have made a tiny a url about vegetable worship and ritual sacrifice (http://www.ebeneezer.net/ritual/vegetable/). I try to remember to post both. Warm Regards, Claire Petersky Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm |

Of course, then there is the argument about whether the service will exist in five years (fire / flood / famine / bankruptcy / overthrow by sentient machines [1]). The address space expands exponentially with each additional digit, so it should be compact for quite a while.

Sigh. No pictures of thousands of carrots in a seething, roaring mass committing horrible acts of immorality in a demonic orgy? I feel like I should cry "False Advertising!". I try to remember to post both. That's been my practice in the past.
