Re: Tiny URL

[Reed - Ann Cober <acreed@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

I waited awhile to chime in on this.... thinking surely
someone else does what I do...  !!!

First, I tell the student to do what their teacher
prefers... since I know of no place that has addressed this
issue that I would consider the definateive source.

THEN I recommend to the teacher that they encourage
the students to document both urls, on the theory
that in the future, one might work when the other
doesn't ... and on the unproven <grin> premise that
if the student makes a mistake copying one, he
'probably' wouldn't make a mistake copying both!

??? What do you think?
