Firenze and Doc Tor. I know how to place an embedded link. In this case I was happy to display the link unchanged so that people could see the name of the website I was linking to, the author and the subject matter. Sorry if the format had you reaching for your bifocals in confusion. I probably need to be more sensitive toward the needs of older ship members.

Which they would have seen anyway, just by following an embedded link (or, even just hovering their mouse over the link).

You could have covered that with some sort of comment about what the link was about as well.

Still don't get why bells are THE sound of sodomy. Come to that, what exactly are the sounds of sodomy? Can we write a song about it eg: "The hills are alive with the sound of sodomy".

George, if you think it's only the olds who are offended by your asshattery, then you're wronger than a wrong thing that's wrong. The olds hate you because of their eyes, the whippersnappers because of how you made the formatting squeal like a pig, and everybody else because of your half-assed excuses for being a right eejit. Or maybe everybody hates you for all the above reasons. Whatever.
But speaking of right eejits, are the sounds of any one Mentionable Act any more or less eternally scarring to children who are convinced that their younger siblings came about through spontaneous generation than any other? Nobody's parents screw. Everyone knows parents are perfectly chaste. Certainly their own. That squicky sound is just them working the plunger because the pooper's backed up again.

Gags have already been suggested a couple of times. That might solve the sound, but not the fury.
