I suspect the actual links get stripped out at least in part because
not everyone reads lugnet on the web-- one of the really uber-cool
genius things about lugnet is that it's accessible via email and
as a "usenet" style news server, as well, and at least from my end,
it's mostly seamless how it does it. But since it does things three
ways, I try to keep that in mind and aim for the lowest common
denominator; I usually do links like this:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5987
because a) most more-modern MUAs, newsreaders, and web browsers "get it",
and treat it as if it were a link even if it doesn't have the A tag,
and b) if it's the only thing on the line, those of us who like our stone
knives and bear skins (or are stuck with them) can quicky "cut" (three-clicks
cuts a single line on most of the X servers I've played with) it to paste
into our browser of necessity, and c) the HTML tag doesn't clutter up the
screen for text mode people.
The <set:5987> thing is neat, too; I didn't know that existed. :) It's stuff
like that that makes me wonder if Todd ever actually has time to build
anything with his Lego any more...
