I'm still not clicking on what looks suspiciously like a spam or trojan
post.
If you're genuine then maybe don't be so ****ing lazy and say what it is
you're talking about in your post.

people seem to have reached their threshold level of frustration dealing
with problems with IE and Windows, and have found the Mozilla software a
good solution to solving those problems," said Hofmann. "CERT's
recommendation is just a reflection of the trend we have seen for quite
some time." Security experts said Mozilla's lack of ActiveX support
makes the browser more secure than IE. ActiveX was intended to allow

That's not the point.
The point is that you posted with an extremely generic
subject, and provided zero information in the body of
the post about what people would see when they clicked
on the link.
(My objection to tinyurls is that they're only valid for
a limited time, which means that when I dig a link out
of the USENET articles after that link expires, it does
me zero good.)
If you don't like being flamed about using tinyurls, do
your readers a service and post both the tinyurl and the
original URL.

Most browsers have a little "X" in the right hand top corner. If
that isn't enough you could turn off the monitor. If your life
is sheltered enough that you haven't yet been desensitized to
images then I envy you.
