Robert,
Actually I meant to say that in the previous note showing the url Donal said he
couldn't click on, I was able to click on it in my copy.
I understand that you and Donal don't find these urls clickable, but since I do
I can't reproduce the problem situation.
Donal said my notes weren't scientific, but this particular problem is. If I
could reproduce the problem, I might be able to find the solution, but I can't.
The problem exists on your browsers and email utility and perhaps Operating
System and not on mine.
Or, if we insist that the problem is of my making, since I haven't altered the
default settings, we could as well say the problem is of Microsoft's making.
I can guess that I have later software than you guys do, but if that is the
problem, I don't know what to do to fix it. I use Windows 7, Outlook 2010, and
Internet Explorer 8.

Lawrence,
You write to Donal
You say you don't see anything in the previous note that would prevent it being
posted as is on Lit-Ideas; perhaps, but I wrote many a note and tried to post
it on Lit-Ideas and had it rejected. That is major annoyance. I tried many
different approaches and ended up with the current one. I don't know why you
can't click on my urls. Are you using html?
You may recall that some months ago, I asked you why your url was not clickable
in my email. We had a brief exchange, something along the lines of, 'It's a
mystery to me, but it's probably your software/browser's fault,' and we let it
go.
As every other url in email messages I get is clickable, and as I get email
from many sources which use many different programs, I find it odd that there's
nothing you can do to about the clickability of your link. It's a small matter,
really, but it would be nice if I could read your blog without copying and
pasting. Life really is too short, as I learned a few years before you and
Donal did.
