Thank you Stephen

At first, I thought Tinyurl was an Arthurian Castle

Thanks - I was wondering how that was done.

The down side is that you can't "read" the URL.

For example, if I'm looking for poems about rabbits, and someone suggests these sites:

MUCH BETTER THAN THOSE BUM SITES YOU MENTIONED !

Marian, I don't think it matters that much. I'd much rather see this:

[tinyurl.com] />
Than this:

[www.emule.com] />
