Subject: RE: BS: Interesting Videos From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 06 Nov 08 - 06:00 PM I like the way that fora.tv site displays the text as it is spoken, and allows us to skip to particular sections. Thanks, Carol, for persisting in this thread. It may look as if you're talking to yourself here, looking at the list of posts, but I don't think you are. |

Subject: RE: BS: Interesting Videos From: CarolC Date: 07 Nov 08 - 09:27 AM I like having a place where interesting videos can be compiled for anyone who wants to see them.

Subject: RE: BS: Interesting Videos From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Nov 08 - 08:31 PM I like having a place where interesting videos can be compiled for anyone who wants to see them.
