Sean,

Apology accepted - assuming you add the link to the Second Life Herald story. I totally understand your concern about about the Nigerian scam spam, but my suggestion is you read each of those e-mails carefully - there may be a hot tip mixed in there somewhere.

If you ever find yourself short on Linden Lab L$ spacebux you might want to consider submitting a piece for publication in the Herald - you could then join luminaries such as Prokofy Neva - an occasional writer who is known as a real stickler for primary sources and fact checking.

Now that the Second Life game gods have updated their TOS to set the stage for banning long time in-world journalists and media outlets that displease Linden Lab, writing for the Herald could provide a certain frisson only available when living in a police state - something I don’t think GameCyte will ever manage. If you decide to take the plunge, let me know.

Hello Pixeleen,

I apologize for not including your story first and foremost among my collection of links. I usually pride myself on making a thorough effort to track down the original outlet that broke a story, and find myself humbled and ashamed to find that I did not properly click through the Slashdot post to yours, nor note when I visited your site later that your posting date was earlier than all the others.

That said, I did indeed enjoy your self-referential joke about checking primary sources, and appreciate the link to our story.

If you still desire it, I will add your link.

Regardless, would you mind please removing my phone number and email from your post? My inbox is rapidly filling with Nigerian scams, and while I trust your readers are intelligent and get the joke, I worry others may not.

Sean
