Google is driving me crazy

[Uncle Shags]

a) why arent you using your main gmail account for youtube anyways?
b) why dont you just associate that email addy with your gmail account?

I have 2 different gmail accounts and I can have 1 signed into gmail/docs and other for youtube, no problem.

a) because I had my youtube account before I got gmail. My videos are on that account. And I started my gmail account before the started they started linking youtube to google accounts, so I have two seperate.
b) It won't let me change the youtube email to my gmail address. I have my youtube email as a secondary for my gmail google account, but it's not providing any functional benefit.

I'm not sure how you're able to keep two open at once, because that's exactly what I want to do and can't.
