167569 Scott Stager <stagers@m...> 2007‑02‑12 Re: Canton Whatsit
I tried these tiny urls today, and got sent somewhere unexpected.

One pointed to a Peter Robinson photo, and the other to some citern  
makers close up of of some fancy carving work.

I'm wondering if photo ids on this new GIC can change thus making  
tinyurls unworkable?
