This atrocity has been going on since at least the 80s, it would seem.

The Franklin Coverup was a crazy read.

    Your period fell outside the parentheses:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_E._King_Jr.

    I know, it gives me the heebie jeebies to end a URL with a period too.

    Edit: Oh, this looks like the editor also get the heebie jeebs; it's not you, it's lemmy.

    Set the URL as text for the link:

    The hero we need.

    Edit: though maybe that's technically unethical. I don't use that style because I like people to see exactly what they're clicking on.

    As long as the links match, they are technically being shown more correct information that way.

    No, I get it, I'm just being an ethical poindexter: technically, you are sending them to a different link than the one they think they are being sent to, but, obviously, not a moral issue in this case.

    What is the difference between ethics and morals, anyways? Anybody?
