Perhaps.  But, in case you hadn't noticed, this list is not twitter.

I agree with the stance that meaningful URLs are preferable.  Oh, and,
please don't introduce spurious line breaks into them; email[%] can
handle multi-hundred-character lines, and if your user agent isn't
willing to leave text lines unmangled, it is critically broken (for
general-purpose use, at least) and needs to be fixed or replaced.

[%] Yes, I know "email" is not a single entity.  SMTP certainly can,
though, and so can every other even vaguely common email-carrying
protocol I know of.
