One comment:  When you post a URL, do it with h-t-t-p in front of it so
people
using a compatible browser can just click and go.

Agreed. One nit, to be precise, make sure it is
h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash, please.. :-)

Better yet, <URL:http://machine.domain.tld/> or just
<http://machine.domain.tld/>. That way you don't have the problem presented
by trying to properly punctuate a sentence ending in a URL, like this:
http://machine.domain.tld. (Is the last . part of the URL, or not?)

(...) The trailing slash is actually part of the URL definition. it tells you that the hostname part of URL has ended. Jasper (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.publish)
