Snarky diatribe or not, it's still valid. Why do we need to see 3 lines 
of noisy, superfluous data, with the relevant bit stuck in the middle? 
Worse, the link contained javascript events that could have, for all I 
know, not knowing their functions, interfered with the functioning of 
the link. Regardless, the whole URL and its source in iweb is entirely 
irrelevant to the issue: httpd doesn't seem to handle %20 correctly. 
Why couldn't the testcase have been something simple and obvious, rather 
than a bloated piece of HTML?

At any rate, it was not intended as unhelpful diatribe. I don't care 
much if people want to use all of the ugly features of HTML and the "Web 
2.0", but I'd prefer not to run across it when I'm reading 9fans. Plan 9 
is the one sane corner of the computer world that I can take solace in. 
I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I meant it as a 
sincere request for courtesy.

Just because you are paranoid
doesn't mean "they" aren't out to get you.
