I don't think that's a valid URL. The period should be escaped somehow - more often than not, that period is supposed to be with the sentence, not the URL. So I move to note it as known issue.

It went to the appropriate page for me like that, but it had "there is not text on this page" instead of the information. When I added the period in my line, I got the info.

Fire fox 1.06 (but true of 1.05 as well) Window XP - patched through all current critical patches.
Must append period to see post. Anyway - we have decided it is not a problem.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
