No, the problem was that my network was down.  I don't think *anyone*
is stupid enough to see my error message and not know what to do to
get the right page.

I did that on purpose to prove a point.  Many people think their
browsers magically add the slash, but in truth it's my server that has
to do the work.  Get used to putting the slashes there and you'll save
time browsing.  I'm sorry you think that trying to teach people
something new means I "suck" but I think wasting my net resources and
your time by requesting the wrong URL sucks more.

You should put the http:// part there too, so that smart mail readers
will turn it into a hyperlink.  If you're going to be picky, at least
get it right.
