Hi Jeff -- thx!

OK -- my suggestion is that we add code to simply sed out the "real" URI from a
redirector URI.  e.g.

    s/drs.yahoo.com\/[^\*]+\*//g;
    [repeat for AOL redir, google, others]

I think we'll be OK with the tinyurl-type redir services; those are often pretty
small-scale operations, and the bureaucracy that stops Yahoo! from fixing their
redirector will not apply.   If people complain about spam using the tinyurl
services, tinyurl will have no problem shutting down spam URLs I should think. 
So I don't think we need to follow the link.

If it does become a persistent problem, we can handle some way to list domains
and part of the path, instead of just domain.   But I don't think it's worth
fixing before it becomes a problem.
