The consensus appears to be that the sooner he is discussing new opportunities with the Jobcentre staff the better for all concerned. |

This is a right royal pain in the arse! ;-) Please learn to use tools such as www.makeashorterlink.com when posting long links to newsgroups. For the benefit of those who cannot link to the above, they can be accessed via http://makeashorterlink.com/?B35C24018 and http://makeashorterlink.com/?E68C12018 respectively. Thanks! |

But the original link should always be included as well -- it tells you what the document is and where it's from, which is helpful for many reasons, since (eg) you might not want to visit that sort of site at all. Also, the shorter.link might expire or die after some time period (whether they claim permanence or not), in which case the real url is invaluable. #Paul |

TBH, if people don't put links through a link shortener I generally can't be bothered to read them but, on this occasion, I was simply curious to find out what the subject matter was, as there was no summary in the text. |

It still wraps around in the same manner (see above). Even if it wraps, software should be capable of using it. I just checked, and Turnpike quite happily identified the whole link in my post. Of course, once you insert quote marks in the middle that stops working. -- Clive D.W.

For some reason, the links in the original post worked (didn't wrap); the quoted ones in the replies didn't (did wrap); and Clive's one didn't.
