This exchange (including the heated or extreme bits) is testimony to
the vitality of the OpenSimulator community.<br>
<br>
It is the nature of open communities of all sorts that discussions are
woolly and outlier opinions approach extremes.<br>
<br>
As several have said, read the whole thread and seek out the reasonable
posts far a better sense of common thinking - and mebbe even consensus
on some things ;-} <br>

<div>I completely agree with Enslar... this has been a terribly
