    YouTube no longer has it, it seems. Whether that is a curse or a blessing, I really don’t care. The fact of the matter is, is that THEY TOOK IT DOWN!

    Agh! Audio preview is gone!
    Randall, get on this! Make comic!

  7. Funny thing they chose to add that, especially after your comic and especially since it has not real use! It’s past dinner time for youtube, looks like they are losing it, one small change at a time!

  8. Thank you for your share.
