Sysman's link is actually corrupted. When I [Copy Source]. it turns out that the text is actually http://greenspun.com/bboard/www.y2knewswire.com/19990222.htm

This is happening more often recently. Anybody know why? or how?

Yeah, but that was friday. Today the Washington Post came out with an editorial putting the usual good spin on things. Everything's going to be OK.

Why is anybody surprized? D C has had big deficits, poor government, major corruption, a mayor in jail etc. for many years. Did Clinton and Congress think that that government was going to fix something as complex as Y2K when they can't even do the easy things right? The District of Columbia is in such a sorry situation that even the smartest woman in the World (Hillary as some have claimed)couldn't govern it with numerous Federal buildings that do not contribute to the tax base and most of the high paying officials living out of the city. Why wasn't GAO on the scene 2 or 3 years ago when there was time left to fix some of it?

Tom,

Looks to me like certain methods of copying link information are susceptible to inclusion of the unwanted www.greenspun.com string ahead of the desired URL. Perhaps related to type of browser, but that seems unlikely.

Sysman,

Can you remember exactly how you set up the link with the extra www.greenspun.com characters? It could help us figure out how to avoid doing this in general. What browser do you use?
