Another thing that I have wondered about

I keep seein' these comments on the Berg story where people keep askin' if someone will send them the video or a link to see such, and I am wonderin' if anyone has been runnin' down those comments and been emailin' them the link or the video as requested. I know I have not been doin' so. 'Bout all I have to do with them commenters is edit stuff from time to time, and sometimes deletin' one here and there whenever necessary.

Comments

I have been sending out the video. Out of some 40 plus emailed, I got one thank-you (and that was a 'thank you in advance for sending me'). I have given up now - they can download it from the page or go without.

I was also enraged to discover that some b*rst*rds were offering the video on their pages but the actual file was coming from my server. I have now introduced anti-leeching controls on that directory. I don't mind people downloading it from my page but to claim that it was on their page and then feeding from my server is unacceptable.

If you try to help out - someone will take advantage of you.

Well, I did not host it, see it, or otherwise care about distributin' it. Of course, I suppose those people who really want to see it now know where to find it, provided they actually read anythin' on my blog and ain't just comin' beggin' for someone to email them the video/link 'cause they are too lazy or brainless to do an effective search for it. Actually, in accordance with my visitation numbers, it seems the search hooplah is windin' down. In a way, I am gonna miss the massive numbers, but it would be nice to see some seach term lists that were not littered literally with variants of Nick Berg.
