[Opensim-users] Fw: Re: [SLED] Linden Lab Sells Second Life!

I agree with Teravus, we shouldn't gloat. 

Personally I'm very saddened by anyone who decides to stop using opensim. We have all put so much into this and of course we want as many people as possible to use it. Just don't attack us and treat us like we owe you everything. 

We want people to use it because we have such feelings for what we are doing, but we don't gain anything else from people using it. So just show some understanding for our side.

Now now, lets be reasonable.     It's one thing to get April fooled..
 it's another to gloat about it.  Generally, I don't think it's a
good
idea to gloat.   It is what it is ..    and we learn and continue on.

Sincerely

Teravus
