I hate to break in like this, but we're discussing how inaccurate it is for Mono scripts to contribute a different multiple than LSL scripts, but in the end aren't we just counting scripts? Would it be more accurate to report a script count and let the user do whatever multiple they want, and then

My interpretation of what was said is that the script using a 2.X viewer would NOT say "Andromeda Resident", SL is just stating that users in the future will not be asked for a last name when they sign up, all new users after that point would have a last name of "Resident", which the 2.X viewers wo
