[thelist] FW: Link Rot

[Luther, Ron]

>>the benefit is from having the database of urls, not from them being tiny

Correctamundo sir!


Yeah, I just noted that while reading Brady's comments.  The 'tinyurl' was a bit of a red herring.  I was referring more to the process of getting all the links into the backend table than to the size reduction to eliminate email wrap-breakage.  Spot on.
