Ho-o-o-o-l-l-l-l-d-d-d on there..... my little assumption jumping, dim

You're soundin' like a turkey at Thanksgiving.

This makes *so* much sense.

I typed the "link" on standard email

You typed it in plain text, then.

and used the html

What HTML? I thought you said you were using standard email.

to make a link of the
phrase to the site.

Why? What's wrong with a normal URL?

I cut and pasted to the group post. It seems it didn't
work...

Indeed it didn't! Copying the text enclosed in a/a rarely does!

[ you use makealinkshorter.com???...

No. Where did I say I did? And where did you say you "tried to make a
shorter link"? Clue #1: I didn't say it anywhere. Clue #2: you said it
in reply to the post that pointed out that you'd failed to provide an
URL.

how lame it that!!]

Your attempts to wriggle out of your cluelessness are pretty lame.

I wish to thank the academy......

You won't win CNotM unless you continue to be clueless after being
given a clue. Go on, do your worst! But I bet you can't beat Tommy
Bishop's theory that ISPs ought to use dictionary.com's definition of
spam instead of BI.
