When I tried it, this one gave me:

  https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RADSTATS

which is the front page of the RadStats mailing list.

However, that one did work as advertised!

As a general comment: I don't know that

  http://www.tinyurl.com/radstatsnewsletter

is any easier (to type or to remember) than

  http://www.radstats.org.uk/newsletters

However, 

  http://www.tinyurl.com/radstats2013

does look like an improvement on

http://aa42.posterous.com/radstats-2013-inequalities-statistics-and-yor

An interesting idea (and I wasn't previously aware that one can
set up one's own choice of tinyurl instead of the random jumble
that tinyurl.com normally gives you).

However, I think the development of this idea needs to be done
judiciously!

Best wishes,
Ted.
