that was an awesome response.
the kurt cobain reference clicked it for me.
i see what your saying and thank you so much for taking the time to clarify.

i focused on different facets of the video based on my own personal experience.so i was curious why/how someone would come to a different conclusion.because you took the time and were patient with me i now see how you view that video.

i am usually not that slow to pick up on things lol.
thank you my friend.

Happy anniversary! Today marks year number 1 since you first became a Sifter and the community is better for having you. Thanks for your contributions!

You confused siftbot (that's not that hard).
You can only do one or the other.
Discard is for when a video might be revived in the future.
