Believe me, I'd much prefer to talk about something else.
But this issue makes it difficult for me to continue development. I believe it is appropiate to discuss things that impede development on the development mailing list. > To "clear the pipes", can we please move these discussions to a different > forum or list so valid OpenSource development questions are not lost in the > flames, complaints, and discussions related to this specific topic? That is fine with me, so long LL's presence on that list is assured. > I do not feel it is valid in this forum to talk about which Third-Party > Viewers in the directory were already impersonated or which part of the > third party viewer policy they do not like. I disagree. I believe development issues belong in the development list, and since this issue threatens my development efforts I bring it to the best place I know for it.

I disagree yet again. I feel it actually *has* been productive, if only because Joe decided the unresolved issues warranted a conference yesterday and another next tuesday. For me it's not about "sharing misery", it's about getting a reaction and answers from LL. And for that purpose I bring up things that I consider relevant. I thought the impersonation post was relevant because LL's response to such things is important, and one of the things that will determine whether SL development remains safe enough for me to get involved with, or not. > > Respectfully & Best Regards, > > Jonathan Irvin > SL Resident of 5 Years.
