   I have been taught on Usenet that posting short, au-   
   to-forwarding URLs is impolite and  that  one  shall   
   always supply either a short preview URL or the full   
   one to boot, e.g.:   
      
            http://tinyurl.com/5rd3lt   
            http://preview.tinyurl.com/5rd3lt   
            [ Netizens: An Anthology ]   
      
   P.S.: Shall  one  employ  the[1]  Fido-style quoting   
         with the initials in this echo even when there   
         is  no nesting, i.e. only one person is quoted   
         (as above)?
