Andrew, I'm not trying to get in an argument with you but I am interested in a clarification of your thoughts here. In the past you've written to this list about all the trouble you've had with sites that have sucked in the Rocketboom feed allowing people to watch episodes embeded in pages that kind of made it look as if Rocketboom had some relationship with the site. Obviously you feel something is different here with Network2. Can you explain why you see this as different?
