That is a good video. Flat Lifter Syndrome - right on. This is good because it is difficult to describe in words just what this really sounds like, and the question "What is it?" is one that continuously comes up when new owners come to this list with the problem. With a few words and the sound in the video the syndrome is almost immediately identified, and hopefully, understood. It would be cool to have this video pretty much permanently placed somewhere that could be references as often as needed.
