Ya, I grokked that.  :)  So it's significantly quicker to:

   1. Be on the already-open window with the auction
   2. Click on the browser's Location box
   3. Ctrl-C to copy URL
   4. Alt-Tab to edit-post window
   5. Ctrl-V to paste URL

than to:

   1. Be on the already-open window with the auction
   2. Right-click on first sign-up link and Copy Link Location
   3. Switch to edit-post window
   4. Ctrl-V to paste URL #1
   5. Right-click on second sign-up link and Copy Link Location
   6. Alt-Tab to edit-post window
   7. Ctrl-V to paste URL #2

?

OK, that saves highlighting a paragraph with the mouse and clicking Ctrl-C,
Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V.

My understanding is that X.com's offer was/is expiring soon, and that Larry,
as a result, would stand to make progressively less money from X.com the
longer he waited.  Is this correct?

In your mind, would Larry's post still have been reasonable if time wasn't a
factor?  (For instance, if he had posted it one or two months ago?)
