I suspect you neglected to insert a space between the end of the > URL and the comma. A URL is not a word you know. Yes - but for posts I've put up for 1.5 decades now, simple writing of the URLs, including punctuation, such as www.PCsAreBetter.com, have worked fine - and most readers do not incorrectly shove anything unwanted into the URL (and the URL works just fine).

I know several people who have Asperger's. (Sorry Tony.) None of them seem to know when to keep quiet. -- Peter

It isn't written as HTML. HTML would be: <a href="http://www.blablabla.com">blablabla</a> Enclosing a URL (or a message-id, or an e-mail address) in inequality signs (_without_ the spaces, BTW) is the best way to avoid ambiguities. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com |
