So deep, so thorough. Thank you for making the video & patch diagrams, and extra thanks for posting everything here on the forum. Important work!

Thanks Chad!

It’s my pleasure, and as I said in the outro, I learned a lot in the process.

…that was a quite heavy chunk of information - thank you very much!…

…i‘ll have to re-watch this another three or seventeen times though

……great to see that you have moved a lot of your videos to Youtube - had a hard time finding those on Vimeo when trying to watch them a second (or eigthteenth) time…

Thanks. I moved all of the tutorials off of Vimeo because they were charging too much. And YouTube is the de facto means of discovery. Yay for hegemony!
