    John, humility. Go look it up. It's that attitude that grates on our nerves.

    Probably true.

    Well, like my old boss said one's strength is usually their weakness. Luckily every day is a chance to get better.

    In my own defense I am honest, entertaining, and like to have fun without trying to harm others. Thus, if you are cool to me I will be cool to you or at least leave you alone. I think that is a commendable/humanitarian approach. So, if people stopped attacking me there would be no problems...seriously.

    But you need to realize, you keep posting you're the most popular thing on YouTube, etc.
    You aren't, but you invite ridicule and corrections.

    Yeah, well I was. Hmm, let me come at this/explain another way.

    You Tube has their "top lists" - most change every day (top viewed, rated, commented, etc.) in every category. They also have top directors, etc. Anyway, many of my videos have gotten in the top 100 of many of those lists & I have been repeatedly "honored" as being a top director.

    While no I have not gotten to #1 in any list I have cracked the top 20 several times and, come on, that is quite an accomplishment for a global top website when I do these things in minutes & its just me talking.

    But yeah, if you check them later after they won the awards are all gone. That is one pet peeve I have with YT is thy should save awards that you won somewhere. I think they are all about the "live links" & "real time" thing. Anyway, that is how it works.

    Oh yeah, there are lists for top ___ for the week, month, all time, but clearly the bar is much much higher for those & often those are professionally done vids with lots of editing & even production value, or copied footage.

    Hmm, the results in the poll are really strange. Interesting!

    But it's You Tube...not the Oscars or Emmys.

    It's like working at Burger King and being pissed because you weren't named VP in charge of fries.

    Ha ha, I hear you. However, I think it is more of a force and platform then you are giving it credit for.

    In any event, it's a great platform for me with no program directors or executive producers to tell me what to do. So, I can be much more creative. Plus the fact that you have WW coverage and virtually unlimited storage to create a catalogue of shows/vids is awesome! I just know its fun & I am getting noticed for the work. So, that is cool.
