Joe, is there some way that you can find, not to wrap those URLs.

Does that do it for you, Iggy?


Yes, great, thanks

Anyone who would put any support behind these scum deserve to be
treated like Yoo suggests is just fine:

"At the core of the legal arguments were the views of Yoo, strongly
backed by David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney's legal counsel,
that the president's wartime powers were essentially unlimited and
included the authority to override laws passed by Congress, such as a
statute banning the use of torture. Pressed on his views in an
interview with OPR investigators, Yoo was asked:

"What about ordering a village of resistants to be massacred? ... Is
that a power that the president could legally—"

"Yeah," Yoo replied, according to a partial transcript included in the
report. "Although, let me say this: So, certainly, that would fall
within the commander-in-chief's power over tactical decisions."

"To order a village of civilians to be [exterminated]?" the OPR
investigator asked again.

"Sure," said Yoo. "


****ing wonderful bunch, there.

Not in a reply, but in the original posting if you just click on it the
newsreader should be able to figure it out. That's the reason for the
angle brackets fore and aft.

Yeah, I wish for that, too.

Normally, the GT/LT symbols on either end fix that, but it never seems
to work for Joe's posts. I always highlight the last part (8.html in
this case), Ctrl-C, and then click on the top portion. WSJ comes up
broken so I go to the end of the URL shown, unselect it, and paste in
that last bit. Hit enter and it comes right up.

That style of posting a link may work in your newsreader,
but probably not many others. That style link is broken
in slrn, XPN, Icedove (Debian's mod of Thunderbird), even
Google Groups.

The only reader it works in for me is Pan.


Actually, to my surprise, it does work in slrn. Try viewing his
original article and press "U". I did not know until today.

The angle-bracket URL delimiters originated in email systems, but do not
seem to have achieved full penetration in newsreaders. Don't know why,
as the necessary code is freely available.

I don't know of a better built-in approach than the angle brackets, and
certainly for open-source newsreaders an improvement suggestion to the
developer community may be the long-term fix.

It has worked for me in other links in Agent 5, but never seemed to
for your particular links, Joe. Maybe some silly libtard progged it
and it is responding to the conservative content of the WSJ.
(Wouldn't THAT be a hot seller on the liberal front!?)

User-Agent: MT-NewsWatcher/3.5.2 (PPC Mac OS X) may be the problem. I
have no problems posting long URLs with the old Netscape 4.78 software.

Angle-brackets weren't recommended as URL delimiters
in newsreaders until 2005 in RFC3986.

I don't know of a better built-in approach than the angle brackets, and
certainly for open-source newsreaders an improvement suggestion to the
developer community may be the long-term fix.

I don't know why Iggy's slrn (an older version than
mine) managed to read between the angles while mine
didn't, but I've posed the question on
news.software.readers where a number of newsreader
authors have been known to check in.

It will be interesting what they say.
