    I feel I should start another thread. I need to relocate my Cyrano de Bergerac presentation. At present it is buried in an out-of-the-way thread and is so hard to unearth that even I can do so only with difficulty.

    I don’t know where to find the number here who have seen the Cyrano de Bergerac presentation, but I believe it is only about fifty folks. In stark contrast, my offering of “What Would Epicurus Think of the Big Bang?” has received (unless I am crazy and am seeing things) over 1,400 views!

    The Cyrano de Bergerac presentation, I forthrightly believe, deserves as many views (if not more!) as the Big Bang post. But one problem is that it is not in the form of a text. It is a visual presentation - what some call a “slide show.” One must click on a link to see it. Well, anyway, here it is…

    And me too! We really don't have a good way to keep things promoted.... Maybe this should be on YouTube or some other more visible venue? Perhaps with a voiceover reading It?

  • Cyrano February 2, 2024 at 8:39 PM

    Changed the title of the thread from “Where is de Bergerac?” to “Let's Bring Back de Bergerac”.

    Yes, Cassius, apparently it is possible to convert my Cyrano presentation to a YouTube video. It looks complicated but I will work on it. Thanks for urging me on.
