Hey Gang!

I've been blogging about my experience with how I've OutsourcedMyLife (http://www.OutsourcedMyLife.com). I started a post called "What Is A Virtual Assistant (http://www.outsourcedmylife.com/what-is-a-virtual-assistant.php)?" and I'm getting hammered by "Traditional" VA's that think Tim (and others) have debased the title into a generic term that refers to the whole spectrum of providers ranging from the $2.50 / hour data entry person in India to the $75 an hour certified Virtual Assistant in the US.

I thought I'd come over here to get a 4HWW perspective to tell me if I'm off my rocker to say that 99% of the population that has heard the term "Virtual Assistant" would think this applies to anybody that provides a service remotely regardless of certification, business structure, or skill set.

I look forward to your thoughts!

It's currently a generic term, but I imagine with use and mainstream acceptance it could come to be something quite specific.
