It was not appropiate.  Marymint Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT Tinyurl (http://tinyurl.com/ ) is a a url generated by a free service which takes very long urls and assigns them to a short, more easily handled (and emailed) urls.  The long url it points to might by anything.  I have used tinyurl often to create more easily handled urls to medical journal articles, etc.  I consider a tinyurl to be very appropriate, and very useful.
