RE :”Too much work. I post on a lot of sites and most have a “video” button you click and insert the url. This site is like using Dos in a world of Windows 2000.”

There are a few hidden short-cut tricks here that I have picked up a while back.
Before that I used to do my vanities on my google blog which has all those button tools and then post a link here in the vanity with a paragraph of text. Then one or two called me a blog pimp even though I had no popup ads.

It you post text of links then most readers wont even bother to take the trouble of copying it and pasting into the address bar of another window. Its pretty much pointless

I avoid anything but windows platforms. I have been spoiled.

I do it. But it has to be worth it. Frankly, nothing lasts forever. I come here less and less as more and more news services offer the ability to make comments. I created a fake facebook account that I use to comment all over the internet without exposing my “real” facebook friends to the occasional stalker I pick up. And those sites don’t go down during live events like the debates.

If FR does not completely change it’s technology, it will disappear. What used to be a minor annoyance has become close to fatal. I notice more and more I will get tired of waiting for it and just close the tab and move on.
