Actually, they're Welsh (not Highlanders).

But it's a most excellent video, thanks.

There's nothing new about commenting that something is old.

If someone hadn't seen it before, like me, it's new.

More to the point, even if someone had seen it before, does it make it
any less remarkable?

I sat through it, not believing my eyes. I watched it all
through, and alternately amazed, and laughing.

At first I thought it was a CGI piece. I guess having too much time
on your hands can be quite li-baaaaa-rating! ;)

What was hilarious - the sheep running around, or the fact that Stormin'
Moron thought that Welsh people were Highlanders?

Which is why I sent the tiny url. Less likely to break a
URL.

Could you train yourself to put the reply following a trimmed post??

Many folks don't like tiny URLs and won't click on them unless they are
quite sure what the poster is up to.

If you're talking about the OP top-posting, he's either lazy, doesn't
understand how it makes it more difficult for people to follow the
thread and what he is replying to, or just doesn't care. The first
and last you can't do anything about, the second one, well, take him
what your objection is. Be specific, use small words and keep it
brief.

While you are right in general not to blithely click on a link from an
unknown source, he did put both a Tinyurl and the direct link, so I'm
not sure what the issue is.

Fair enough, but did you know that you can switch on an option at
tinyurl to always show you the final URL & wait for your okay before
proceeding?

Yes, and one can also formulate a wee preview when arranging a t.u.

However, I don't click on any link in usenet unless I 'know' the poster.
"Rita" posted a pile of dogshit with an innocuous name in the link, so
there's one poster whose URLs I avoid.
