    From Ed Vance@1:2320/107 to Sean Dennis on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 18:02:40
    Sean, I am very picky when it comes to typing a URL in a BBS post or email.

    In the ARRL Letter I read today I noticed a Period after a URL.
    My habit is to follow a URL with a space and then punctuation.

    Since I no longer choose to be a ARRL member and I want to let ARRL know about their writer not providing a space after the URL I saw, I would like to suggest You or another reader of this echo write to them about the use after a line ending with a URL without a space causes the Address not to be a clickable link.

    The Tagline(s) you use at the end of personal post you write makes me really really wish I could Steal them on this phone as I used to do when I had internet access to my desktop systems.
    Many of the Taglines I see in Your messages caule me to drool

    The bad news: I'm not a member either so they'd ignore me.

    The good news: I can modify the script tht posts the ARRL Letter to fix that issue.

    If you want, if you call my board sometime I can send them to you. 1045 taglines and growing.

    Sean, You editing each ARRL newsletter sounds like a BIG JOB
    I myself could write down a url that looks interesting to me and look at it on this phone

    Re the Tagline file, Me being a Tagline Thief could log on Outpost BBS sometime.
    I've not done much downloading on this phone.
    In fact I am still learning how Android does what itdoes.

    It is late here now maybe tmw I will log on and look around.

    Maybe some ARRL member reading our comments may forward "my idea" to the League.
    TKS es 73
