Folks, this is doing it the hard way!

URLs can be compressed to fit on one line. Doing so will reduce heartache
and other pains.

Whenever you need to include a stupidly long URL in an email or posting, go
to 
http://tinyurl.com/
And enter the offending URL.

In less than a millisecond, you will be returned something like
http://tinyurl.com/ydrcvc
And you will live happily ever after.
   
The service is free.
