Sorry, Myron, but I don't visit links that I don't recognize, but I'll
take your word that it is a real knee-slapper.

For all who post links, I'll second R's comment; I want to see that
what I'm surfing to...

FWIW, tinyurl has a preview feature, so it isn't that it was "tiny-ized"
that caused me concern, but if I don't recognize the website that was
"tiny-ed," I won't go to it.

I see...I'd never been to the tinyurl site before...but alas it says:

"The preview feature requires cookies to be enabled in your web
browser."

Besides, tinyurl is just another corporate click-tracking device. I'm
continually amazed at the amount of privacy (and content rights)
people will freely give up to corporations, simply for a little
convenience, even those people who would jump at a chance to rail
against the government, the patriot act, etc.

Read the content of the EULA's you agree to, everyone! Posted pics to
a free pic-hosting site? They probably own your pictures now. Use a
free email account? They probably own your email content now. Does the
agreement promise not to use your content for certain purposes? Ok,
but there's usually another clause that says they have the right to
modify the terms of the agreement at any time in the future.

Big Brother turns out to be .com, not .gov
