One to you, Why can't I clip and paste in these boxes???

You really should be able to. Assuming you're using some flavor of Windoze, you should be able to highlight the text, press Ctrl-C to copy it to your clipboard, put the cursor where you want the text to appear, and press Ctrl-V to copy it from your clipboard.

Interesting. I was just going to add something to my reply to you, only seconds after submitting it, and the Edit Message link wasn't there. Odd.

Anyway, what I wanted to add is that if the problem is with pasting a URL, that's a bug in the site. I know for certain that PM's don't like it if you put in a URL as the first thing, and it wouldn't surprise me if public messages had the same problem, as I suspect (without really looking) that it's a problem with parsing out the "subject" part of the message and stuffing it into a field of a specific size.

If you ever get an error message when submitting a post that starts with a URL, try inserting some text on a line before the URL.
