With all due respect (and you know I love you), I don't feel comfortable (too much) about the commercial or economic side of vlogging on this list or in the video conference. After the videoconference, most of my afternoon was spent on the phone with other vloggers who wanted to talk about

I love this list just as it is.  The flames and chaos just contribute to the cookin' flavor, and the theory, art, and socializing make for an incredibly creative community. SPONSORED LINKS Individual

Honestly, I just dont join many email lists.  If I do, most of them have a finite lifespan (like planning committee lists, or yearly event lists that are dead most of the time). If any part of this list moves away-- content producers, programmers, whatever-- I will be bummed and miss the inf

I had to stop reading the list for awhile, but I kept subscribing through gmail. I don't know if the list has become unmanagable because it consists of more people than the human brain can handle, but maybe some guidelines Maybe it would be useful to propose some guidelines for posting. For ex

It's an interesting study in sociology. I've been a member of the group since I think October of last year, and you do see a difference. Even though the numbers were steadily increasing, there wasn't much change in the way the members of the group communicated with one another. Then, yes, the
