I will post updates on one Post so as not to create new posts and I am not making any money from this, also google owns youtube so I am only helping google the owner of this Forum?

Thank you, I am considering how best to approach this with the other members. Originally we were going to share an account so we could engage from one account. Perhaps, as you have suggested, it would merely save some hostility if we did not share an account in the name of eyn2k and posted individually. Though I thought this might generate more hostility, having multiple members posting in one frame of mind I thought would generate a more biased view and slow creativity.

Only now that we have a decent playlist (39 videos), did we think we are ready to start engaging, and wish to do so. I have personally set three days a week, a number of hours per day, simply to engage with an audience (though can check more regularly hopefully)

Definately! 
My original post I will admit was a little lazy, I was up until 2 am waiting for the video to upload and was really tired, these late nights have to be stopped I am moving to the country. My internet in Australia is one of my current biggest hurdles, uploading is terrible.
