Exactly,  I too often (this case is not a good example), evidently, err on the side of assuming my readers know more than I do.

However, in this case more than one person has complained without, evidently, attempting to open the page through the supplied link.  If it fails, then complain, not otherwise.
Curiously, I later discovered the original link did not fail at all of the cross posted lists.
Perhaps some mail apps. fail to clearly indicate a link is a link.
