Or, better yet, http://www.webtools.org/counter/ .

(1) If you include the "http://"; on your links then those of us who read
through the archive, rather than through the mailing list, can follow
the links directly rather than copying and pasting.  I've noticed that
you almost always leave off the "http://"; making what should be a simple
"tab, enter" into "mouse to select the text, control-insert, 'g', shift-
insert, enter".  And since you often mention sites that Lynx users might
be interested in, it just makes it that much more difficult.

(2) You save bandwidth by including the trailing slash in the first
place, but from a deviousness standpoint, not including the slash will
register two hits from Lynx, thus increasing its perceived popularity
at the target site.
