"personally, when someone links to an example of something in a forum
thread (where it's of value), it should stay if possible in order to
maintain the most complete information possible for future readers
..."

and

"agreed - maybe this would be a perfect reason for people to use TinyURLs -
and if given as an example, people would be less afraid to click on them (I
know that sometimes I am!) - given that the person says in the post, "I'm
putting this in a TinyURL to avoid spidering..."

As someone who has recently had two, yes a whole TWO links broken;
actually it was something that only occurred to me because I saw
someone else ask, I have to say that I honestly dont understand the
"much ado" I see about this.

Isnt this a common-sense issue?? My last link was to an example to
clairfy what it was someone wanted. I trust that the forum moderators
are able to distinguish whether or not something like what I linked to
needed to stay in tact to maintain some sort of historic accuracy.

I really have to say that I think this is a case of letting
common-sense prevail.
