I must confess that I thought Tiny URL links expire. Didn't read the main page...
Even if they don't expire, IMHO it makes more sense to use the insert link feature rather than rely upon external resources. Some folks (well, me for one ) appreciate being able to move the cursor over a link to see the source prior to clicking on it.

I agree ... many fora I frequent do not allow that feature but I will use it here in future.

Me too.

Yes, I did make up that name - and it was an over-exaggeration. But you could easily confuse HD 21242 with HD 21232 or HD 21243, if you were not very familiar with particular designations.
