*Edit* This is a direct plea to all those long-link postin' critters out there.
People, please stop posting super long links. Nothing is more annoying than having to scroll sideways to read each sentence of each post in an entire thread because a few don't want to shorten the links they post. 
Thanks for listening.

I don't see your point, Cashmere. Oh, wait, there it is.
The link doesn't work for me though.

Thanks NeoP - it's only humorous if at least on person gets it. (you did get the fact that the period is a link, right? I.e., the shortest possible link. Oh well.)

Use tinyurl.com as in this. It's easy enough. Just sits on the Firefox header till you need it. One click and it's done.
