Your signature appears normally when you first post or reply to
someone else.
When another poster replies to your post, Google tacks the leading
greater-than sign onto the front of your lines and reformats them.
In the process, it can wrap lines, mistakenly jamming the word at the
end of a line together with the link that begins the next line.
Both of these should appear normally in _this_ post:
Andrew Muziwww.yellowjersey.org
Andrew Muzi
www.yellowjersey.org
Andrew Muzi
www.yellowjersey.org
But when I reply to myself in a moment, the first may be wrapped,
while the other two (I hope) will be protected by the leading spaces
and the extra line.

See? That's why I put the ugly little space in front of links in my
posts. It leads to extra blank lines, but it prevents Google from
goofing up the links that are practically the only valuable things in
my ravings.
I added spaces to my sig file.
Why should Google affect this? I never go there.
Dear Andrew,
It isn't your original non-Google post that gets goofed up.
Things go wrong when someone else using Google replies to your
original post, which Google re-formats with the leading greater-than
signs and other fuss.
It may also get goofed up when going through _other_ sites, not just
Google.
Let's see what happens when Comcast gets its hands on things. Here are
the three versions again, the first one that Google wraps together
onto one line in replies, the second with leading spaces and the third
with a blank line in the middle to foikl Google:
Andrew Muzi

I'll reply in a moment through Comcast and Forte Agent again.
Cheers,
Carl Fogel
Yes, replying through Comcast with Forte avoids the Google line-wrap
reply goof in the first example above.
Given that Google is free and maintains an enormous searchable
archive, it's hard to complain about this bug.
Luckily, no complaints are too hard or too small for RBT.
:-)
It looks as if you need to stick a bridge in there to keep your name
and site separated. Otherwise, the unbraced text can collapse and jam
things together in rare circumstances.
:-)
Cheers,
Carl Fogel
