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.
