   I want to insert a couple of URL links in a sub I am working on, but I dont want to clutter it up with the long string of http.blahblah/more stuff.com

   Worse is, if you edit a post, they will be put in automatically, making the link _vanish_.
   
   
   Don't use quotes.

   I have to go find them again, they are all gone now.
