1. I do wish people would warn us when they post something that's just another old music video. nt

2. I just wish You Tube posters would say something about what the video is about.
I still don't know because I don't click on them and waste several more minutes of my life.

3. Not for me -
I read these subject lines, and then I click on and find a youtube link.

Nothing could be of less interest. I'm always disappointed, never click on, because if I wanted to watch videos, I'd look at videos.

I'm far more interested in what DUers have to say.

This is just a waste of my time. Sorry..................

4. Thanks. That needed to be said.
I don't care if someone posts a video, but for god's sake, tell us that it is a video, so that I can make a choice as to whether to click on it.

If it's a silly cat video, I'll watch. Otherwise give me the text and any commentary you have.

I guess that's why I very rarely go to the video forum.

"I guess that's why I very rarely go to the video forum."

18. If you don't watch Videos then why did you bother to reply on this post...
That's what I don't get. :shrug: Maybe you could help me out? You thought you were on DU Hompage and just happened to wander into my post and are PISSED OFF that it was a VIDEO LINK?

Forgive me if I find you kind of ...well...whatever...you can fill in the blanks. :eyes:

24. I was in GD, where I saw your post. I thought it might
be an interesting read. All I found was a youtube link. I'm sorry, but a link to a youtube video without any commentary in General Discussion is a waste of time for me. As I said earlier, that's why I rarely go into the Videos forum.

Sorry for not paragraphing.

28. Huh?
Didn't I say that I thought your thread title was interesting? If you had said you had a music video, I definitely would have WALKED ON BYE!

Don't twist what I just said.

32. Huh? What's that?
"What's Happened to MY HOME TOWN...and YOUR HOME TOWN....Devastation!"

How the hell I am supposed to know this is a link to a video. I suppose if I have telepathic "woo" abilities, maybe I could figure it out, but since I don't, I can't.

Sorry that I thought that this might be commentary by Paul Krugman, Robert Reich, Eugene Robinson, or Bob Herbert.

All I got was a youtube video.

7. Same here -
It's like "bait and switch," and I end up just peeved.

My other one is people who write their posts all in one paragraph.

I no longer even try to read them. Too much work.

It's as if they were being charged for the space their words would take up..........................

16. Back to the Message....What really happened to "Our Home Towns?"
And doesn't this song really say much of what we experienced. The "Vanishing America?"

Bruce does good with this one... It's always about the MUSIC that pushes forward the "narrative" of what Americans go through ...it seems.

17. How many times are you going to kick your own threads?
I noticed you posted two video links in the same manner -- just a link with no comment or reason for anyone to click. Then you got pissed when people unrec'd or didn't respond. I hope you figure this out.... and take the shrill down a couple octaves. Maybe you'll get more favorable responses.
