PS: If you don't want to FOLLOW an obfuscated URL, you could just
disable XS requests in your browser of choice, or if you wanted to be
really l33t, Europus, netcat to the host and GET the page:

nc bit.ly 80
GET /c8nXVq

<P ALIGN=RIGHT><SMALL><I>AOLserver/4.5.1 on

Does that count as "clicking"? Am I not a tr00 cypherpunk anymore?
