I have a question for experienced Twitter users, or generally tech savvy people:

So I posted this on Twitter:

I wrote a nice post about Twitter on the great PDSP forums: http://************/69gqwy

The original link I included was:
Twitter (Blog)

I get 404 errors in both IE6 and FireFox 3 when I use the TinyURL link that my original link got automatically converted to (system design 101: always give people options; never force things on people).

What's the issue here, and how can I get around it?

Edit: Ok, so it seems TinyURL is blocked on the forums. Inconvenient. Well, the above link with all the astericks ("***********") still works if you type in tinyurl(dot)com and paste the "/69gqwy" after it.
