It's not the way the question was asked, it's where the question was asked... at the top of LL's Facebook page. So, it's not that the question resonates with the silent majority, it's that the vocal minority of us here in the forum are ignorant of a much larger world. ;-). GREAT! ***Fresh meat***

BEFORE any non-shills decide to share their experiences with Cecilia, they might like to read a similar hatchet job she has already done: "Inside the Tragic, Obsessive World of Video Game Addicts" [Note that Cecilia's understanding of technology is such that she thinks "Celeron" is a brand of PC, and other groups she has character-assassinated include "Gay Libertarian Gun Nuts" and "Third Wave Feminists in Dungeons & Dragons"] ***She did call Second Life a game, didn't she***

A subscription is also available for $30 a month more than Blender costs, or $240 a year more than Blender; which is $20 a month more than Blender There may be a multitude of other reasons why some individuals choose not to use Maya, and cost is certainly one of them. FIFY! ***Thank you for the anti-advertisement***

ARE you saving up to buy a chair, then? ***How many is "tot" hours***

Perhaps we could call the FAQ tab "KNOWLEDGE BASE"! ***Don't look up the page, you might get a nose bleed*** Perrie Juran wrote: How many times do we need to explain "unpacking a box?" AND in that "KNOWLEDGE BASE" tab perhaps we could have articles about, say, "unpacking a box" ***But how could we get idiots to look in the tabs for things like KNOWLEDGE BASE and ANSWERS rather than just posting their stupidly repetitive questions in GENERAL DISCUSSIONS***

WHAT a ridiculous and incoherent question. ***The answer is no, whatever you were asking***

WHAT a fine example of germanic "humour"! ***Almost incomprehensible is so difficult to pull off, but you have managed it***

IT is astonishing what can happen when the PR people from LL and Autodesk get together, isn't it? ***What is REALLY astonishing is that Peter Gray felt the need to prompt his Autodesk equivalent to respond here; he must be extremely worried***

Dillon Levenque wrote: Astonishing. A rather unusual OP request which, after a brief delay, gets six responses in less than an hour's time, each one of them reporting the most incredible effects, and each from someone who has almost never, or in fact never, posted here before. I'd never really been aware that so many people with such incredible stories lurked here, just hoping that someday someone would come along and ask the question they so want to answer. Edit: make that seven responses; one was in progress while I typed. IN the trade it's called the "Beggar's Cap" technique. As any busker will tell you, if you salt your "tip jar" with some shiny it makes a significant difference in encouraging potential donors of small change. It's a known psychological phenomenon that people feel enabled if others have already appeared to demonstrate public participation, however ridiculous the act might be. ***Ethically, of course, it's frowned upon, but even bull-headed fact-checking journalists worry less about morality than mendacity***

HI Cecilia I used to be a congenital liar in rl; Walter Mitty had nothing on me, and although it got me into some trouble at school, and later on with the law, it became beneficial to my career when it spilled over into my job - I was a marketing manager for Microsoft, and now I am working for another company that develops virtual software - although nobody seemed to notice, or perhaps care, that my fantasy products have never been delivered, possibly because I initiated campaigns central to which were the distribution of free rose-tinted spectacles - which I have now developed into a USP by making them holographically 3D, although they do have an unfortunate unintended side-effect of making everybody who wears them extremely nauseous, but hey, nothing's perfect!. However, while I continue to be employed as a spin-doctor, I have begun to participate extensively and anonymously in the SL forums, where I have learned (along with how to carefully avoid split infinitives) that truth and sincerity are characteristics of communication to be treasured, and I now spend my time almost exclusively encouraging others here to reveal their true colours, since the normalcy and sincerity of those who post here is astonishing once you are able to see through the humorous patina of mental disease and cognitive deficiency. SL, and particularly these forums, has enabled me to develop a kind of remote empathy, engendering in me a sort of x-ray vision that sees into the souls of others across the internet through their words, however orthographically malformed, and allows me to help them with their unspoken problems. I have developed a reputation here for kindness, compassion and conciliation - and not a little faux alliteration - and my thoughtfulness in dropping metaphorical anvils on the heads of cartoon maleficents is appreciated widely, I understand. If you are interested in further discussing my position - and even from 4,000 miles away I can sense your tumescent enthusiasm as you read my words - first place an ear next to your rectal outlet and listen to yourself. ***Oh, I have also spent some time working on the Letters page of Playboy, making up stuff from fictitious people, like you do***

EBBE is leaving. ***And Philip Rosedale is coming back as temporary Acting CEO***

VERSION2 - It's a joke! ***Oh, that's right; it is***

MARKETING? ***I am not suggesting that you are a Linden shill, of course***

NEXT Month's perk: the ability to change the default sun/time setting on login. ***Take away with one hand, give back with the other***

Under the circumstances, I am going to commend myself for regarding your words being intended as an attempt at humor. BLACK humour. Don't expect sympathy in GD; if you want your brow mopped go to Make Friends. ***Even better, don't express yourself in public until you can cope with your problems privately***

I don't trust my wife with even small amounts of money. ***No change there then***

TRUTH? ******

COULD they not cut and paste the appropriate responses for you in the Answers section? ***Or maybe alts and land are not the only things that you're struggling to understand***

MIXING up rl and sl? That's almost the definition of schizophrenia. ***This forum is not the place to discuss mental illness***

Qwalyphi Korpov wrote: btw, although answers exists it is not a place to obtain a discussion. It sucks at discussion. It is also not a place to ask questions that are subjective or seek opinions. So while you asked a question it was preceded by comments likely to generate discussion. Because the gist of it was you've run into people who want to impose some arbitrary standard on you. DON'T ask for facts if you want a discussion. Don't ask for a discussion if all you want are facts. Don't mix the two. ***Don't expect sympathy if you can't work out the difference between a fact and an opinion***

Try to see how the creators deliberately use "hooks" to drag the audience into the story and how those hooks don't weaken the fantasy aspect, they strengthen it. YEP! Every time a new Star Wars movie is released there are Wookies queuing down the street to watch it. ***The Lanniks, like Yoda, just sneak in around the back***

YOU probably forgot that you ticked the check box: "I don't want to remember what I did in SL" ***Although it seems you are doing a good job with the memory loss anyway***
