Sandman: that link is *not* the same as the above, which is *exactly* why tinyurl is *bad* and should never be used, as it doesn't necessarily go to where the user says it does.

in the case of the above, it goes through an ad-tracker which can be blocked (and often is).

That's really odd, it doesn't for me, and using tinyurl's preview function:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/nn9sde8

Shows it pointing directly at Adobe's site. I wonder what happened to your browser when you clicked it. Odd!

nospam: it's not my browser. you are once again, clueless.

NIce, always revert to being an asshole in spite of me saying nothing rude to you.

nospam
you blamed it on me due to your ignorance of the topic.

Sandman
I blamed nothing on you, you illiterate fool

nospam
yes you did:

it's not my browser.

the tinyurl link, which *you* gave, goes through www.dpbolvw.net which is an ad-tracker.

i block ad-tracking sites, so that link *does not work* at all.

you apparently do not block ad-tracking sites and are oblivious to the redirect and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that it does that.

this is *very* easy to test. look for a connection to www.dpbolvw.net, which resolves to 8.18.45.85.

better yet, block connections to ad-tracking sites.
