This link might work better many:

I used to use "tinyurl" a lot until I learned that a long url enclosed
by
almost always works as easily.
"We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on
our site"
Is what most people see with your link. I had to copy/paste the relevant
characters to get to the page. Also, I always use a shortened link
because even a longer working link will be truncated by follow up posts.
As you are well aware, sometimes the original post may not have been
propagated across all of the news servers. Disparate news readers may
handle the "" link method differently. I use Thunderbird (news reader
not wine) and it doesn't see but the first part of your link as such.
I might slip over to Google Groups to see how it handles your post.

True, using "" is not infallible, although I had no problem opening the
link using Xnews. Since many people are skeptical about clicking on an
abbreviated link like TinyURL, it might be a good idea to post both.
That's a good point and tinyurl does have a preview function but if
enough people know someone has been around long enough to have a
habit of posting joke links and not malicious attack links, there's
nothing to fear. There are the classic "Goatse" and "Tubgirl" links
but the only thing that may be affected is ones ability to hold
down their dinner, not their computer. I have a couple of add-ons
installed in Firefox that effectively block most malicious links and
those are WOT(Web Of Trust) and NoScript. I would recommend them to
anyone. Don't pick on me or I'll start top posting. *snicker*
