Re: 2nd Life

[Timothy Shea <tim () tshea net>]

Your comments are troubling.  What possible reason do you have to put  
down another organization or a person based on something you don't  
like?  The guy is trying to do a job and your comments are helpful.

I have worked for companies that have valid business reasons for all  
sorts of stupid and lame things.  In the case of Second Life - one of  
the organizations I helped out in the last year had a marketing  
presence on Second Life.  I have helped out or worked for  
organizations that an approved segment of the user base actively  
cruised porn sites.  Why?  Because they many of their best customers  
operated such sites (always paid on time and usually in cash).

So please spare us your moral outrage.
