Re: Why I hate voting -or- a grown man's plea to change vote submission

FWIW. I tend to use copy-link from the xml link and then edit out the "&displaytype=xml". This would work better if the link(s) were relative rather than absolute though.

Which begs the question: Why are all the links absolute?

If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

Which begs the question: Why are all the links absolute? They aren't. None of the links are absolute. View the HTML source. Your browser takes the relative URLs and converts them to absolute URLs and gives those to you when you cut'n'paste (rather "copy") URLs. Presumably because relative URLs just aren't as useful in most situations when you'd want to paste a URL. - tye	[reply]
