Please include a summary of videos you post, especially in a thread start.  :) It prevents everyone from having to watch to find out what's it about and a good summary with a personal view attached tends to foster better discussions.

Point taken. I don't think too many people really want my personal view, though I seek everyone else here's view on the particular video. I accept that perhaps I need to seed a debate more. The problem with summarizing is that there are a certain number who would watch a video, read a summary by someone else (or vice versa?) and then set about polluting the thread with semantics of said summary.

But yes, I promise to try to seed debates and walk slowly into murkier waters.

Nah, it's only of concern for those of us downunder. The next few posts after the OP will bring any reader up to date on the content of the thread.
A general interest news topic that might interest the northern hemisphere wouldn't worry us at all and whatsmore most of us downunder couldn't give a damn.  :horse:
You keep doing it just how ya like Ed.

Oh, I see. I tend to forget that those on the other side of the planet aren't getting the same news fed to them as we do. No wonder the punters were doing their lolly.

It's not a matter of locale. It's a matter of courtesy and common sense. Dumping a link or video means people have to expend time and effort to find out about the topic. Just a few lines will greatly help and also tend to foster more fruitful discussions. People get of course caught up in their enthusiasm about an interesting video or forget they're much more familiar with the subject than people encountering their thread. That's why the view from the other side helps instead of lambasting someone.

Youtube is blocked on this computer. I used to get a black box instead of the preview, but something has changed and now I get nothing. I asked once somewhere if there was any way the forum software could at least add a normal text link, but I don't recall any response. It's not a real problem though because I know what's going on, but a short description or comment would help to decide if it's something I might want to watch.
