I think there’s something wrong with the links… Or is it just my browser?
Hello Octav,
It was not your browser. This was my fault. A while back we had an institutional change in our mail service that resulted in our being saddled with a program that breaks the links in the way that you saw when you attempt to paste them into a new document. I did not realize this until a few months after this post and I am still in the process of tracking down posts with broken links.
Thanks very much for catching the problem in this highly important post. The links here should be fixed now.
