Also, did you know a lot of Freepers LIKE the long posts and to read transcripts rather than watching or listening to a YouTube video.
Count me in that group. I nearly always prefer a transcript to having to watch a video. Having both is the best, of course, since the video has inflection and gestures and facial expressions that are lost in plaintext.
I stopped watching TV in the 70's, and instead read voraciously. My wife is the opposite -- she is a TV/video watcher and avoids reading more than a one-sentence summary of anything she can watch instead.
Hooray for transcripts!! And thank you, RandFan, again.
