That's weird, same thing happened on my work email.

The one thing that jumped out at me was requesting progressive
taxi...I'm forever explaining to students that it's OK to do that.

For some reason the webmaster on the FAA SPANS site isn't
properly coding the link so it is detected as a link. I
sent them an email saying that just putting the link inside
makes it work properly. They do have the links properly
set on the footer for contacting the webmaster etc. So
likely, some person is sending these email alerts without
really knowing how to code HTML or XML.

I had to fiddle a little to get a link to copy, it wouldn't
copy from the email directly, I looked at the properties and
message source and copied it from there. I also forwarded
it to myself with the and that worked.

I often ask but rarely get them. Usually you get something like "just
take alpha to bravo". I could have gotten that from the taxi clearance.
I was expecting something like, "continue taxing until you pass the
citation, then turn right...".

I can't remember if it was SDF or LEX, but I got so hopelessly turned
around one night (was raining and dark and foggy) that I'm surprised I'm
not still driving around. Asked for progressive, and got exactly what
you described....so I kept hounding ground until I got what I was
looking for. Only time I've ever requested it, but I'm glad I did.

(the really funny thing was, it wasn't the first time I'd been to
whatever airport I was at and I had the diagram in my lap...it was just
one of those days)

Tell them you are unfamiliar and would appreciate an extra eye.
