That embed didn't work for me -- says video not found. Not sure if it is on my end or a general issue. In any case, I found it here:

OK, how do we do this? Yours is dead, so you'll need mine's embed; should I dupeof it first, then you copy the embed code?

Getting Ready for VideoSift 4.1 (Sift Talk Post)
At the risk of repeating myself I want to let you know what a fun site you have in Videosift. I have spent more time over the last several years on the Sift than all of the other good sites on the web combined. I have attempted to partake in many aspects of this community, including t-shirts (got "Once I Was Stoned" a week ago!), developing friendships, seeking advice, offering council (no one listened), and offering a buck or two when I was able. It's been a great place to hang my hat, so I offer the following suggestions not based being disgruntled, but based on my overall satisfaction and with a desire to make the Sift an even better place for people to hang.
1. When a video is a dupe, and the *dupeof command is invoked, I would like to see the comments under the dupe be moved wholesale to the older video. While I have but few ideas on how to delineate them from the comments on the earlier vid, I'm confident that you guys could work it out.
2. Although I've mentioned this before, and received a partial answer, I think that the mechanism with which your program locates dupes during the submission process could use some tweaking. While it finds dupes once in a while, it does so with increasing irregularity as the number of videos increases here. It's a time burner and an incentive killer to Sift videos that already exist only to find that out hours or days later.
3. Create a 'Sandbox' where the cat-fighting can take place. There are an increasing number of personal arguments taking place in public on this site. I, for one, think they ought to remain private. Barring that discretion, would it be possible to consider sending these threads or even one-off posts to a section of the site specifically designated for spats? Diamonds and above could, with the click of a mouse, place the offending post, in a dark recess of the Sift accessible by all, but only intentionally. We have the power to hobble, how about the power to muffle?
4. Lastly, this is more of a question than a suggestion (possible suggestion to follow) if someone were to be known to be using the Sift to promote an agenda, say political or moral, for instance, and this is what they were being paid to do; promote agendas on the web. How do you think that ought to affect the status of their Sifts? In other words, say the Catholics find out that they are taking a beating here. So they pay one of their employees to post videos favorable to the church. That person has all day to do that; write positive posts, place church-friendly videos, etc. That is going to, after time, affect this place and the deciding factor is money.
I realize this discussion took place many moons ago over Fedquip, but I want to know if there is a policy regarding promoting an agenda here as a part of your job; using the Sift to reinforce a position while being paid for it.
Brian, thanks for listening. Take these for what they are: suggestions only. Whether they happen or not, I'll be in the background sifting away.
