Mick, I can see your point. It's easy and quick enough to make a clicky thing, and paste the URL if you are doing all of it by cut and paste, so why not make it easy for everyone rather than just for some people. That's the philosophy behind the clicky thing on websites which says "If your browser doesn't support frames please click here"

I just cut and paste Joe's blue and red line of html, save it in my e-mail in a folder called "keep these" so I don't delete them by mistake. I then copy the line into the thread, copy the URL from either my bookmarks (Netscape) of Favourites (Explorer) folders, or the site itself. The nice thing about cut-and-pasting Joe's html is that I can be descriptive instead of just saying "click here' by typing over the text, but I'll confess so far I haven't been descriptive about the name of the site or anything.

In fact, I guess you could paste the URL address over "click here" if you wanted and then select and copy the text if you need to. That might be complicating things though.
