It's often the MR site software, not the posters, that truncates the appearance of long links. |
Actually, the link he was concerned about was one of the new York times shorter links (nyti.ms/gobbledegook) like bit.ly or some such, and those do often hide the ultimate URL until they've been clicked and followed. There's no truncation for those, just mystery.
