Yes I think the video you mentioned is the one. It was about a year ago.

@jonhodgson Thanks for making the point, always thought of a thesis as something presented for formal qualifications although I didn’t check the dictionary definition. I was just thinking back to my student days some of which were light years ago…   Read more»

@russ I was thinking the same as you that other posts are getting lost because of it but didn’t want to appear negative. After years of trawling through web sites and log ons at work I try to limit my…   Read more»

Looks like you are getting some stick, think this means they like you.
Things must be slipping in Germany I thought it was verboten to be untidy and leave a mess for someone else to clear up.
