1. You aren’t the architect of the Linden dollar, really. That is, perhaps superficially in some internal company memo you can claim something we can’t check, but in fact it was Gaming Open Market (put out of business by Linden Lab) that “architected” the value of that dollar to real money. LL played catch-up.

2. Whoever is responsible for making this dollar valuable — and again, I’d argue that it’s the residents, not the Lindens — what my critical blog is about is your notion of SL as a “product”. If anything, you undermined the currency by scathingly and cynically referring to it as a “metaphor” and implying that residents in SL are chumps who bought the company line that this is a “world” and couldn’t grasp that this was merely a “product”.

3. I don’t for a minute think you left voluntarily. I think you felt the squeeze because the new management brought in new people and gave them titles so close to yours that you took the hint.

4. Your worth will be told by your next job where you are hired, not what you tell us on your resume.

When I’m ready to talk about what I’ll do next, I’ll certainly talk about it on this blog! Thanks.

Who knows, as you said, maybe it’s a blend of both – either way, SL is historic and remarkable – Do you have any thoughts as to what’s next?
