I don't think the Lindens have any pity . I don't understand why I, under circumstances beyond my control(my old computer died and I had to get a cheap laptop to do my work until I could save up for a better one), now have to suffer for not being able to play SL to get the bear avatar that is ABSOLUTELY EXACTLY PERFECTLY what I've been looking for for THREE years. I've actually asked people around if they knew a good bear avatar and they said no.
