the text in the link is meaningless, as it can hold some other
address. like this:<br>
<a href="http://www.verybadURL/fooled/you/to/click/me">http://www.niceURL/trust/me/i/am/REST</a>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Its called *REST* (representational state
transfer)<br>
<br>
Yeah, these links sure look spammy ;-)</blockquote>
(imagine that, mine does not look spammy too)<br>
<br>
so, unless you are hovering and looking at the bottom to see what
the real address is, you're hosed.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Then there is the issue of whether or not
you want to trust someone <br>

ever <br>
spamming ;-)</blockquote>
that is true, so long as your mail account was not broken into and
it trashes all over, without you knowing it. i am on enough mailing
lists (though not as technical as this) to know who these types of
messages are coming from. <br>
<br>
So, i expected something along "you are right, this message does
sound a little robotic. i will add more text next time so people who
know me will know it is really me and not some dirty bot. thank you
for your insight".<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
