Sure. (I'm flattered :-)
Someday I might try to claim credit for originating it (I'm a legend in my own
mind ;-), , but for now, don't worry about attribution.
If it spreads as a meme, and somehow contributes to better documentation
(everywhere), that would be wonderful.
Thinking about it -- I don't have a sig, I might make that my sig.
I'm thinking about how to incorporate into it that very short videos (15 to 60
seconds, with a minimum of "chatter" by the narrator / "host") can be useful
in some cases. (Just tell me (either in written text or in the first 5 seconds
what I should be seeing, then show me, maybe summarize or repeat in slow(er)
motion.
Have a good day!
