Click it.But the actual link to the Amazon website would be just as safe, and rather more obviously safe. Our right-wing lunatics keep on hiding their links to nonsense sources like Fox New, Zero hedge and Russia Today by cloaking them as tinyurl links. I don't see any valid reason for doing it that way. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

There's less interest in the actual item you linked to than there is in the fact that you are apparently refusing to provide more useful information. This really seems to be a Rick Roll type scenario. No thank you. -- Grant. . . . unix || die

Here is what I got, "uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading" Because of the following filter: ||viglink.com^ Found in: Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list Even going to legitimate sites can send your browser down a rabbit hole of redirects. -- Rick C. -- Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging -- Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209
