   I do like like seeing some explanation at least. I don't mind clicking the   
   link    
   to go check it out if I know what it is. I'm used to doing that on my desktop    
   with my telnet client and a browser already.   
      
   The formatting should be fine and quoting, while not as easily "pick and    
   choose" as it is in a full screen editor, can still be done.
