I would generally agree with your statement...but one question looms...if they can't handle the growth or are comfortable with the growth rate they have...why give accounts away for free? T~  That's a fair point Maybe they just don't have the time to market it in the way you suggest? I dunno, it's anyones guess._____________________

I understand where you are coming from, but I wouldn't read it that way. Having had businesses in real life that have pretty much felt like my creations, I can understand that not selling could be for a smiliar kind of attachment. It's not logical or in the best interests of anyone agreed, but I would understand if it wasn't for sale. I have started a couple of biz as well. Two times things have happened to burn me out on them. With one of them I had a few hundred people using my service. In the interest of the community I asked if anyone wanted to take it over, and sure enough. Even though I had a strong attachment (it was my baby for over 3 years), I felt good that it continued on even past my own interest. If the only reasons to get out are because they've lost interest in SL, and perhaps because of XML-RPC bugs then why not pass it on with so many people offering to help take it over? The question should really be answered by one of the GOM guys. Gabrielle |

Possibly, am undecided._____________________

Is that why you are now investing in property, Lisse?  Oh, you mean First Life property? Oh, yes! In fact, I'm using my SL profits, run through GOM and removed safely to my bank account, to finance getting my First Life real estate license! _____________________
