I agree. Private feedback I've gotten corroborates that.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who's watched the video for putting up with 
my "um"s. I had a terrible case of the "um"s that day, and I know that parts 
of the video, as a result, are excruciating to sit through. Since everyone's 
been gracious enough not to mention it, I thought I'd acknowledge it. Thanks 
again.
