Hi Sylvain!
My name is Diniz and I'm a Brazilian Slackware user. :-)
To read newsgroups I'm running slrn in Konsole and noticed that the
'automatic' link to ptbr FAQ fails because that single point after
'txt'. It is added to link and that page is not found. LOL.
I think that, if you could just remove it, the link would work fine.
Just a small detail. Not a great problem.
Tks! Have a nice day. :-)

Back in the day, they called this "dingus clicking":

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/99/10/12/214230/october-gnome-released

Interestingly, ChromeOS's terminal application is smart enough to know
to ignore the trailing period. But I think you are correct that it would
be better to have it removed. Not sure who has access to change that,
though :-(

Removed. Thanks for pointing that out, and sorry that it took me so
long to get to dealing with it.
