[Opensim-dev] The essence of "grid"

[Ideia Boa]

I think the big confusion is that most posts are referring to USERS and 
safety is not the topic.
I suppose what is at stake is how to interconnect grids and regions in a 
safe or not and nothing is related to the USERS.
Please correct me if I am wrong in my way of seeing "The essence of grid"

That is, the avatar should not be ruthed.
