> Mudcat's software does nothing special with links, it just puts in exactly what you typed. NO IT DOESN'T! How many times must this be pointed out?! If it genuinely left the links alone, I'd be completely happy, but it doesn't. It tries to second-guess what the user intended, but gets it wrong, because it is using the wrong criteria to make the judgement, and the result is a corrupted link. As this is very like the behaviour of some malware, which alters links to point to infectious pages, it could give a really, really bad impression to those who don't completely understand what went wrong.
