I have been grateful for eric's, gorgonheap's, and others vigilant attention to cleaning up dead posts, and streamlining the place-It's great to back-up, and re-read some of the great thread discussions (for the 3 or four minutes it takes to recall the twirl, of one or two dissenting opinions, to what most times become circle-jerks)

When these viddies die, and are not resurrected, the thread gets buried, or sometimes lost forever(killed)-

We would benefit from an invocation, which preserves the discussion.
My technique, is to replace the embed with a suitable, but not exact copy, because the memories are worthy, the thread engaging....be damn the votes, I could care less-for example,

this one-

great thread-I replaced the viddy with the original content, lucky this time.

Let's get creative-someone whose mind is more linear, may have already come up with a solution.....
