That's pretty funny. ZA is complaining when you're trying to help ZA.
LOL
TinyURL is nothing more than a service that folks use to send shortened
links so they don't wordwrap (and break). I'm sure someone has used it to
send a bad site to someone and that's why ZA questions them, but that's
certainly not the case here. This link takes you to a site that tries to
explain the problem. The full link is pasted below, but will probably
wordwrap (and break) for most folks.
