It's a very small matter, but if you don't include the '/' the httpd
server will have to send the browser a redirection (it'll take a bit
longer to finally bring up the page). I suspect including the '/' is
more a status thing than anything else, it shows you know how the net
works and therefore may be worth taking seriously.

Are you suggesting that it's fine for any shmuck to broadcast
off-topic commercial advertisments to newsgroups on an world-wide
scale?!
