(Long answer) That URL is ok because it is only 62 characters but... Put simply, long URLs have a nasty habit of wrapping, rendering them useless in usenet discussion groups. Surprisingly, some people still use text based usenet readers that are viewed on a 80x40 text-only screen. This is why most readers, (graphical and text,) are configured to wrap at 72 columns. 72 character columns--------------------------------------------------- | V 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 For long URLs that can't be shortened, two services have been created to shorten the URLs for you: http://makeashorterlink.com http://tinyurl.com Wrapping can also be a problem with wide ASCII arts, if the artist does not configure their usenet client properly, their wide ASCII drawings will look really bad, because everything will have been force-wrapped before it reaches the rest of the group, even if the usenet software on the other end can show wide text.
