BUT for clip finders its a totally different story, especilly for members whom post mainly youtube clips. although we may only post clip at a time, a lot of time is spent watching clips for lifts, looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes - figure of speech trying to find clips with very low views, so that it will be new or hopefully new for members to watch. but when it comes to clicking the thank u button, well what can i say EXCEPT to say, u will never see my name in the top 10, no matter how good the clip is. ANYWAY as xms is fast approaching, i like to take this opportunity to wish all members of this forum a merry xmas and a happy new, and drive carefully on the roads during this period.

Ray, I tend to agree with you about the needle in the haystack issues of finding clips. While some clips may get 20 or 30 thanks, it really is very time consuming to keep finding clips that may be new. It is a real pain in the butt to watch a 5 minute clip, looking for that one 10 or 15 or 30 second part and then learing that there is no lift in the clip at all - or if there is a lift, it is 2 seconds long and not worth posting. Your contributions are great and are obviously the result of tremendous efforts on your part, whether you get lots of thank you posts or not.
