Or maybe the message could just read "fuck fixing bugs, fuck fixing logins and fuck you - signed, LL"?

Yup. I'm in a shitty mood.

I bet Philip has set LindenLab to a safe and no-script zone too, so your scripted cluebat won't work. :(

Of course, the truth is far worse than that.

The Lindens will have a huge sensor net cast out over Frisco, and thousands of scripted light objects with timers and sensors (traffic signals, the sun) causing intense lag. Then you'll have to fight your way though more avatars than a club on nudie night, and griefers (motorists)...

Then when you finally get to within eyeball range of the office, a manically laughing Linden will hit you with a llTeleportAgentHome() causing you to start again... and since the street will not be set to return objects, your passport will have ghosted outside the door, along with your plane tickets.

You'll fail to arrive at home, and instead appear in Trafalgar Square, looking confused and praying that at least your underwear will rez before someone sees you.

Excellent suggestion. I just posted almost the exact same thought as a reply to a post about this in Technical Issues, then noticed yours..
