It is; you didn't.
This isn't a one-line post; it's just succinct.

Mod Edit - It is a one-line post... simply adding that it is not, doesn't help.
Don't do it agian.

What is it with this insistence on being wordy and saying in a couple of paragraphs what could be said in a few words? The gist of this guy's post is
1) Hope it isn't new and 2) Hope he didn't ruin our day. That's all he said other than giving a link to an old old story. Why did he do that?
Because he just got here and isn't familiar with has been posted recently, so he didn't know. That's fine. That's okay, but he still had attitude,
as if this 'explanation' were the first time anyone anywhere knew this had been explained and that evertone here must be a rabid believer. Frankly,
I think that's ignorant, but rather than say so, "It is; you didn't" is a succinct way to remind the OP that his post wasn't that shocking,
revealed nothing new, and no, we don't all believe anything shown on YouTube.
I had thought moderators were discerning enough to understand the difference between a pithy post and a one-liner that
added nothing to the
discussion such as "I agree" or "lol" or "smiley smiley smiley" Those deserve to be in the 'one-liner' 'rule.' But his absolutist black
or white mentality about the T&C does absolutely nothing to enhance user generated content, which this site is supposed to be about.
But have no fear. I won't "do it agian." (sic)
