No, I think that's Susan Boyle. Good singer, though.

I posted the LINK. I am not the AUTHOR of that link channel.
Jeeze, so if I post a LINK to Microsoft am I automatically the AUTHOR of that link content ?
If you can't get the VERY CLEAR difference, then, well, nevermind.

Forget it. I posted my suggestions for the OP. I am no longer interested in your bizarre ramblings. Apparently you know nothing about either YouTube or how embedded LINKS work here or on any web-site forum. Later...
I will not further respond to you on this as of NOW.
Have a nice day.

Thank you Dave.
Jeeze, it's REALLY NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
I am NOT the AUTHOR of http://www.youtube.com/user/tribdog . Tribdog is !
I, pallidin, merely posted a link to his channel for the hopeful benefit of the OP.
How much of 1+1=2 is not understood?

How is he implying anything? Clearly, after the OP asked for tribdog, Pallidin simply Googled "tribdog" and found that hit, so he's brought it here.
BTW, tribdog is a long-standing member here at PF. Haven't seen him in a looong time.

If he knew he was tribdog and that he had a youtube page and that it would show up on google search, then ergo, he is tribdog

...he simply Googled tribdog and that hit came up. Zany!
Strangely, a Google of tribdog brings up the YouTube page as its number 1 hit.
(Maybe we need to introduce some of these PF newbies to this newfangled thing we call Google, whaddya say Pallidin?)

Dave, I seriously couldn't stop laughing after no-one but you would get this very simple help moment. Really! My wife kicked me out of the house for a few moments. I could not stop laughing.

Let us review.
When you write something in a thread, and hit the "reply" button. That is called a post. You made a post that contained a youtube channel. Therefore, following logic, you are the channel poster and tribdog is the link of the youtube user channel you posted
Got it?

lol this is hilarious...MotoH made a pretty vague and bad joke...but people are taking him seriously...XD
MotoH is only arguing semantics (e.g. what does Channel poster mean; either the person who created the channel, or the person who posted about the channel), you need not pay attention, he understands very well that the creator of the Youtube Channel is not pallidin.

Since we're arguing over semantics anyways and nobody's actually failing to understand the other, how can a post contain a channel? How can tribdog be a link? How can you post a channel?
