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.

Perhaps you can quote a message with a video to recover the link that way.

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.

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.

Asking some consideration for the community is very selfish, yes.  ::)

It is a smart move for them IMO,
You see it going on everywhere now, mergers even with small carshops here in the Netherlands are merged into larger dealerships.

t as I read an article today the hardware is no longer going to be the differentiator it is going to be the software and that is where these manufacturers have 0 skills and 0 people. So they need to transit from HW manufacturer to also SW company because it will take too many people to outsource that and be dependent on your income of another company.

It looks more like GM is either shaping up to be a good buy or just shedding markets where they lose money. And in the end a car is still a metal box on wheels which takes an incredible amount of logistics to build at very thin margins. Software only goes so far and likely the software will be provided by third parties where the manufacturers may receive a kick-back from services sold.
