<a href=http://www.mudcat.org/>Click here</a>

I'm very pleased to see that so many Mudcatteers have mastered the art of posting clickable links. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy - especially if you copy-and-paste instead of typing all that stuff. Paste the URL (with the http, without quote marks) in the red part above, and the reference word or words in the blue part.
There's one thing I haven't been able to figure out, and I'm looking for a logical explanation. Some people here complain about links that don't have the URL visible. they don't want to see a link that says Click here. What they want to see is http://netministries.org/see/charmin/CM00803. I don't understand why. It seems to me, if somebody is smart enough to be able to use an URL, they ought to be smart enough to be able to find the URL:

As Ross Perot would say, "It's that simple." Or maybe is it not that simple, and could I be missing an essential piece of logic here? Can somebody please explain it to me?
