It's no surprise that Loogy hasn't yet learned to present a link
properly.

Gee, I had absolutely NO problems with it. It seems as you do, though.
I've tried to make it as simple as possible for you, because you've told
us you can't cut and paste.


The link worked for me. Of course, I use a mac.

If my computer sees a space or carriage return in the middle of a link
it ignores what follows. Links are highlighted so it's easy to see the
mistakes Loogy makes. His links aren't worth more than 1 click, if that.

===

It turns out that there is an easy way to post long links without them
becoming broken. The trick is to enclose the link in angle brackets
like this:

http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-politics/20130102/US.Superstorm.Aid/

That way there is no need to cut and paste, use tiny URLs, etc.

I know, but really, I thought that people here were at least competent
enough to take a space out of a link after copying and pasting. But,
alas, they've proven me wrong!

Doubt if he'll do it. He's too lazy to prepare a link that others won't
need to go out of their way, to follow.

Like I said, I thought that the people here were bright enough to copy
and paste. In Greg, Scotty and your case, I was mistaken. I'll really
try hard to make things as simple as possible and dumb things down for
you guys in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------

I don't see it as being a case of how bright others are. I see it as
a common courtesy to those who you would like to read your posts and
links.
It doesn't take much effort and in most cases eliminates the need to
manually open a browser, modify the screwed up link and then read
something you probably weren't interested in anyway.

Then again, common courtesy isn't something found on rec.boats much
.... or anywhere else anymore for that matter.

It also doesn't take "much effort" to cut and paste. They just need
something to whine about, and if it's something that FOX hasn't told
them, then it's an excuse.

Such a narrow twit.. You know, some folks readers might be different
than yours.. Mine will not copy and paste a broken line in one shot, it'
takes each line separately... If you would just put the ****ing arrows
in, we could all just click on the ****ing thing, you stupid as ****,
idiot... that is those of us who still think you may put up a relevant
link someday...

That's odd, Mr. Internet Guru.... I use the same reader as you, and I
have no problems! And of course, name calling is what happens when you
have been found, once again, to be a complete idiot. How Harryesque.
Notice, if you will, the only ones to have trouble with the links I
provide are you, Greg and Meyer.... Everyone else says it's not a
problem!!! Hmmmmmm?

The use of http://tinyurl.com/ would make the process so much easier. Put the button in your browser
tool bar, and life is quite simple. Check out the link below to see how much trouble is saved - no
copying, no pasting, just a quick click or double-click, depending on your news reader.
