Jim Dixon...I agree with you...sort of..*grin*.
It would indeed be clearer & easier if everyone adopted one standard and one nomenclature, but I also KNOW it ain't gonna happen!
   I never use quotes when typing out a link, and I often past the URL as the text, so there is an idea of the destination, but sometimes the urge to be clever just overwhelms me...;>}



thing is, getting everyone to adhere to a standard is like herding cats....if making sense were all that is required, everyone would have adopted MY definition of 'FOLK' a long time ago!
   So, I guess I'll just poddle along, making links, clickies, URLs or whatever, as the times seem to warrant.
