I can't remember what I told you last time we talked about this, so I'll  
make up some new stuff. :o)

Point #1: The important thing is people are putting new creations out  
there. Period.

Point #2: Most people have a brain and realise that conversations about  
definitions don't invalidate the value of their work no matter if they  
feel they're included or not. If they think they absolutely *need* to be  
included in some definition or their world will collapse, that's not  
really something I can care about. They should reread Point #1 until they  
get it.

Point #3: Video online is being used in different ways, that's a fact.  
Distinguishing between them raises the level of understanding. I've chosen  
not to use "videoblogging" as an umbrella for "video online" and instead  
use it as "video and blog mixed" because that seems logical. It is also  
how most people understand "videoblog". If you are not mixing video and  
blog and as a consequence feel left out of the Yahoo Group then stop and  
see Point #1.
