[Opensim-dev] Leaving Project

[Cristina Videira Lopes]

Sorry that it didn't work out for you. Good luck with whatever other  
platform you choose.
This is a mailing list for discussing technical issues, so please take  
the personal drama elsewhere. All personal dramas generate interest,  
but that doesn't mean that they're appropriate for this mailing list.

I have created a forum that people can use to communicate feelings,  
and exchange stories about their explorations in opensim and beyond:
http://opensim.freeforums.org/
Please take this thread there or elsewhere.
Thanks.

Crista
