It's most certainly wrong when you've already visited the site in question, which is the majority of the time. The ONLY time it's right is when you have never, ever visited th site in question. Once you've visited it, it works the way I describe. > you haven't been paying any attention, so here it is again: > > it only does that *if* you have been to the site in question, > something which i already mentioned more than once, including in what > you snipped from the very post to which you are responding and in my > first post to this thread, over 3 days ago. that's very disingenuous, > not that i'm the least bit surprised.

Are you are aware there are more top level domains than .com? I'm not sure how realistic it is to expect the web browser to know what web site you want without actually specifying the domain name... >> (Since this is mr.know-it-all, never-can-admit-he's-wrong, nospam, you >> can expect him to argue this until the bitter end as if he's right.

You're right for one specific case: you've never, ever visited the web site before. That happens exactly one time for each web site. Hardly the normal behavior. The way I described, on the other hand, is the way it more commonly works. > they will also see that you are once again talking out your ass and > dropping to your usual puerile insults, as you have here. I can dish it out just like you. I can also stop dishing it out whenever you decide to stop. We both know when that will happen. So I guess you'd better just get used to it. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
