One minute video ...
I'm sorry to sound so critical, but not only did you not give a clue what this video is about ... and the ONLY reason why I then bothered to view it was owing to your one statement ... until I realized
you lied about that: the video is 2:56!! Once I determined the subject was dragging on and that you severely understated the time, I aborted viewing it. Gee, maybe I have ADD?
Thanks for the reply. I get lost in doing this and doing that and like the clip nothing gets done.
Thanks for the reply and your critique. I'll take your words to heart and do better; lots of room for improvement. I'm sorry you think I lied but it was just a guesstiment I didn't realize that people's time on this forum was still so important to them that a minute give or take would be that big of deal. I'll put that at the top of my list.
Thanks again for looking.

Dear tramsey,
If you meant what you just wrote, you're welcome and thank you for at least considering my feedback. Pardon my hesitation, but your statement, "I'll put that at the top of my list" sounds disingenuous to me.
Something tells me that I'm "due" a jeer from some Hog (for my previous post on your Topic,) the most benign of which would be to "lighten up." In my own defense, I give far more thumbs up than down. Perhaps because of my scientific background, I couldn't conceive of "one minute" as being anything but a lie given the video's true length of time. I wouldn't have thought of it as a guesstimate, but perhaps being off by 200% in the real world IS considered an acceptable guesstimate?
To your credit, you're the first (besides me,) to post the viewing time for a link to video since I joined last August. I post it fastidiously along with video URL in my e-mails to friends because I know that many of them aren't retired, as I'm only 55, and that such time IS precious to them, if they're going to bother to look at all. It is an extra step; one must check out the video's duration (& make a note of it,) before or during viewing.
A few Posters just list a URL link (to be redundant) and provide no description what it's about. When I suggested to one that a description would help, his reply was quite hostile; he said he didn't care whether there was a description or not. So, now I skip those that have zero description; except I made the "mistake" of checking yours out because of your assurance it was only a minute long. Oops! There I go again. I apologize.
HAGD!
Ramsey...I would say you owe me a minute fifty five except that it was so dang funny.
It was classic, lev. If you didn't see the humor in it, then your scientific mind is causing you to miss out on some of the best in life.
You need to watch some Jack Benny.

I love that she says, I'm baffled because nothing got done today but I've been busy. So true.
