One could reasonably argue that people who do things like that are
the reason trade unions /continue/ to exist, and interesting debates
could be held on that topic

I'd say it was the other way round. Trade unions are the reason people like
that continue to exist.

This is one reason why links should always be placed in ... brackets;
it makes it easier for software to detect where they start and end.

Thus:

Sadly not, Clive. It still wraps around in the same manner (see above). TBH,
if people don't put links through a link shortener I generally can't be
bothered to read them but, on this occasion, I was simply curious to find
out what the subject matter was, as there was no summary in the text.

Both links have wrapped round and are unusable without cutting and pasting
them first. This is a right royal pain in the arse! ;-)

For some reason, the links in the original post worked (didn't wrap);
the quoted ones in the replies didn't (did wrap); and Clive's one
didn't. Strange...

Please learn to use tools such as www.makeashorterlink.com when posting
long links to newsgroups.

Or learn the ancient art of Url Fu, and strip out the surplus gunk:

Even if it wraps, software should be capable of using it. I just
checked, and Turnpike quite happily identified the whole link in my
post.

Of course, once you insert quote marks in the middle that stops working.
