Of course now I'm going to start again... I read through my recent posts, and I feel that they have been a good mix of helpful information, responses & opinions, and occasionally something that's more of a humorous comment on something. I can stop my attempts at humorous responses if desired. I did notice that I start very few threads. I tend to reply to things other people have said. Honestly I don't have a lot of questions about videoblogging right now, as I feel like I know what I'm doing to some degree, and I rarely plug my own stuff (except in my sig) and tend to point to other URLs I think will answer questions or provide information. If the list mom wanted to throw me out of here, then I'd think much more carefully about what I've posted... If it's just a matter of trying to deal with your inbox, well, we all know that pain, so I guess the choices are 'deal with it' or unsubscribe?
