   The URL was obviously partially elided and broken.  A working URL is:

http://tinyurl.com/28ok9y2

   <sermon>I always recommend to anyone, anywhere, that when you include
a long URL in any posting that might be split or corrupted by e-mail
clients (either yours or the other person's) or by e-mail list software,
(and they inevitably corrupt things) you should always generate a
shorter version that is less likely to be corrupted, using a service
like http://tinyurl.com/ .  It can potentially save hundreds of people a
lot of frustration!</sermon>
