TinyURL - A tool, not a deceptor

You know, masking an Amazon affiliate code by using a tinyurl-link isn't particularly honest in the net.

And you don't really need a tinyurl as the page could be accessed with this medium-sized link:
http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Games-Insider-History-Influential/dp/02408...

take care,

I don't use the TinyURL to mask anything. It's very obvious it's an affiliate link since it says "ArmchairArcade" in it. It's to keep the size down. It's not forum friendly. In fact, when possible, we use the full URL.
