- For folks like me who never had really steady hands to begin with, it's much easier to hit a minimum-eleven-character link than it is to hit a four-letter word (especially on a touchscreen).
- Leaving the links out where people can see them gives fair warning if a particular site is blocked by someone's firewall.
Frankly, Rob? I hate bare URL links with a passion. They look amateurish and ugly. I've been converting all the ones I find into potholes, and I'm probably responsible for a lot of the "here"s you've seen. That said, I'll try to use longer pothole texts.-- Bob
