You mean like this?:<br><br>
Wikipedia has grown to become by far the biggest encyclopedia in the
world,<br>
with over *three<br>
million*<<a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Wikipedia-Hits-3-Million-English-Articles-119397.shtml%3Earticles" eudora="autourl">

,<br><br>
What's the problem?</blockquote><br>
No, not the above link. But when you're reading the article, hover
over one of the two links within it, "Wikipedia" or "the
New York Times". I get an Advertisement for Google's
"bing", and can't get rid of it sufficiently to copy any text
containing that link. (I'm using Netscape, if that
matters.)<br><br>
