I don't think it's appropriate to post links in the Lounge that only work in the UK! 
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,
when their violent passions are spent?

Postings in the Lounge that require special software to view? You must be kidding!

I thought that was MySpace.com.

This is typical of the kind of self elected lounge police that have given CP a bad name.

I was making a joke; however, on a serious note I don't see a problem with someone expecting you to post a link that everyone can get access to. That does not seem unreasonable.

I thought everybody used a VPN with selectable worldwide servers these days?

I won't lie - seeing your name here was disconcerting.

It's almost like you're twins or something.

Yeah, we badly need education reform: online education is the way to go! Otherwise...

PS. frankly, eLearning should be implemented on a mass scale long time ago: what is that special they are doing in the classrooms that cannot be done online?

Personally, I prefer to learn in a classroom, it just works better for me.
The larger point is that a student should be allowed to learn in the way that works best for him. One size does not fit all.

Well, in ideal world students might be allowed to choose what they want, but in our substantially non-ideal real world a set of choices for a student in the Upper East Side Manhattan (for e.g.) is very different from the one living in distant village somewhere in Alaska. The online education is practically the only way to effectively address such sort of ZIP code differences. Plus, it’s not just “one size fits all”: online education comes in many sizes, like 1280x800, 1366x800, 1920x800, 2560x1440, etc.

I see what you're saying, but that still excludes students with only a 25x80 character monochrome dumb terminus and 2400 baud MODEM and a yak.
