Re: Is it polite to point web browsers?

["Kathleen MacDowell" <kathleen -at- writefortheuser -dot- com>]

Am I missing something? Everyone is putting in a link, so couldn't you just
say,

Click on this link: happycampers.com
<http://bbbb>
For more information, see web address (or something suitable).

The only reason I can see for some of the other suggestions is if you're
concerned that a person might distrust a name rather than the actual http://
www, but one could still hide something in a link, no? Or ?
