I thank you for restating that. I seem to think we didn't actually
finish that discussion. However, it was the venerable David H Lipman,
resident guru here on alt.privacy.spyware, who advocated that it *does*
obfuscate a link!

Perhaps it simply depends on which newsreader is in play, eh?

If you look here, does the link 'work'? What happens?

(It sort of 'works' for me - I get a warning from Google!)

However, in SeaMonkey, the link is *NOT* live. Piccie .......

Aardvark, using Linux as you do, did you click on the 'live' link to
