that spammers can post working links
(sometimes pages of 'em)

but legitimate users can't add one link to a legitimate site

the whole business of
add a space to post

delete the space to make it work
is just a tad annoying

and the fun I had yesterday after making the 2 posts with the fried link
I got bounced out to can't access the site
- pages wouldn't load
and
- attempts to log in again
only got me a blank page with some long cryptic error code

can't TR just disable the link parser?
so that links aren't posted as links
but rather are just posted as regular text
