Gave up doing the http:// part a while ago (taking the small risk of
confusion with a gopher-based resource) as newer versions of Netscape put
the http:// part in by default, if you don't stick something in yourself.
Haven't tried this in other browsers yet.

ps Watched a set of 9 adverts in a commercial break on ITV the other night
and 7 of them had the URLs of their organisation at the end; thought this
was groovy (though it didn't encourage me one iota to open the bank
account/buy the car/buy the fizzy drink mentioned at all :-).
