Um...thanks! I will be there to laugh, cry and be left bewlidered with a question...'what is life..why are we here' and so on...griping stuff lol. NO seriously though, thanks for letting us all know! I frequently go hunting down what changes they are making or what is getting axed or what awsome new stuff is arriving! I find reviews that are sort of vauge or assume I know what happened OR there just isn't much change in the message....so sort of a let down. BUT, there are sometimes stuff hidden there that no one says anything about! So, yeah...thanks for the heads up again....I hope this time I will remember where to find this so I don't go about asking if the meshies have been killed off...which really upset some folks! NOW, we will have to see if the economy is being strangled by bugs...a horrible seen indeed! Of course, I need to work on a good personification of the economy...uh....like "Is LL filled with the muffled screams of our dear economy as bugs eat heart out and they say nothing to us as they slowely sit back and have group drum circle sessions with ZERO care for our economony...the innocent, the pure economy as they drum loudly into the night laughing at our tech support pleadings for helps and shake the servers with loud rap music...DO THEY...HUH!!!" BUT, I am thwarted by a title character limit....so, my art is compromised again...aint easy being a troll sometimes...it just isn't easy. BUT< seriously....why didn't I see mesh mentioned in liek every blog or news bit!!! It was a huge deal for a big part of SL who are very much vocal(or is that textal?) about SL!!! The creators, hobbiests or commercial alike! Wow, my grammer is bad tonight...uh...ok, I think I will give it a rest...my brain that is...the sick threat the poor concepts and ideas are under is horrid though.....LL seem like a butcher at a part of pigs, just waiting to weild thier knives into the flesh of our fun and luaghter and devour it to leave us empty and with a messy desk!!!! Yeah, people have a tendency to neglect thier desks when they are into gaming, businessing and smooching ...I mean, virtually so....in real life they tend to not be so engrossed or starta  fight..something about meat space =s fighting over why the desk is messy...uh, yeah...going..I need to be doing the going thing. Bye! Farewell, don't let them kill the inocent and defenceless file formats and concepts and so on while I am gone!
