The correction is stated in his .sig (i think) (: Used as a spamblock

Like I, he's not using a HTML compliant newsreader. Anyone without a HTML 
compliant newsreader wouldn't have seen the URL without delving into the 
HTML code (some non-HTML newsreaders even strip & discard it, to keep with 
standards).

Might be better posting in plain text mode, and keep the URL separate from 
the text. Saves on bandwidth, frustration, and incompatibility (and useless 
posts like this one).

Of course, that's what the HTML code looks like to me, but since you posted 
in mixed (both plain and html) I saw both versions. Just, the text version 
skipped the URL.
