it is a good idea to always post the TinyURL and the full URL, and 
preferably the Title of the page as well.  If/when TinyURL gets sold to 
some less scrupulous company, the archives will let people still access 
them w/o having to watch ads (just a guess that TinyURL might eventually be 
a "sign up" service).  Also if the web page moves, having the Title will 
let someone try to find it in Google.

ps - use Opera and turn off automatic redirection and watch how many 
different sites you TinyURL request takes you to.  I think I counted 4 or 5.
