Yeah, well first, please remember: Internet != WWW.  Believe it or not,
some of us still prefer to read Usenet groups without having to use
complicated graphics-based tools that slowly and unnecessarily turn text
into graphics and then back again.  And some people have access to Usenet
newsgroups without access to the WWW at all, not even with text-only tools
such as Lynx.  And some of us are just technogrouches who see no reason why
simple text has to be made so damn complicated to get at.  Hint; we may not
have indexed shifters either, or even want them.

Second, the URL should be in lowercase, otherwise this Lynx at least won't
even find the server.

Third:
