THE LONG AND SHORT OF URLS
Regarding the "mile-and-a-half-long" URL for the Newman
Museum article, Stephen Searle writes: "You may be interested
in looking into http://tinyurl.com/ for your URLs in the E-Sylum.
It is free and it works.I made one for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article on the
Newman Numismatic Museum you provided.

[After plowing through dozens of junk emails telling me how
to make certain things longer, it's a pleasant switch to read
about making anything shorter. I may use this in the future
when the situation calls. But readers are always advised to
never count on any URL existing far into the future. On the
web, everything changes constantly. So follow Mike Hodder's
example - if you want to archive a referenced article for your
files, print it out right away. Don't wait, or you may be
disappointed later. -Editor]- 2003-12-28
