   Hello Brian Rogers!

    FB>> When I click at the link above (hxxp://shorturl.at/

   That can certainly be the case!  That was like a screaming     
   banshee to me when the tiny urls first emerged.  But the folks     
   at TinyUrl do a nice job in providing a Preview option.  Also,     
   at least the most popular services now vet the links too.
