I think it's pretty inappropriate to claim a patent you haven't even read yet is false or to imply that people are stupid just because they are doing something you (might) disagree with or can't do what you can do technically.. <div>
<br></div><div>I have quite a lot of respect for the Reaction Grid team and the services they are providing to educators and newbies in the opensim space. There are many faculty and teachers whose expertise is in something other than managing servers, and they are far from stupid people. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally, I'll reserve judgement until I've, you know, read the patent application. You probably should, too.</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully,</div><div><br></div><div>- Chris/Fleep</div>
