i was shocked when I saw you'd cut my 9 mins to 2 mins,
Anthony, but after I'd watched the 2 min version, I couldn't
think what I could have been saying for the remaining 7
mins. You are a good editor.
I would appreciate it if you, Anthony, or anyone else, could
send me a video clip of 5-15 seconds with a question to answer.
