Take no notice, he's havering. My newsreader will open an url when I
click on it. No need to copy and paste. The only time it stumbles is if
the url is so long it gets line-wrapped, and that's the reason it's
polite usenet etiquette for posters offering a long url link, to give
the tinyurl as an alternative.
