I can't believe LL just announced that [very important announcement]. Are they insane? It should be obvious to anyone with the IQ of a crack-addicted squirrel that [very important announcement] will lead to ruin of Second Life! Why doesn't LL stop mucking about with nonsense like [very important announcement] and fix the system. SL still just doesn't work a good 20% of the time. How do they expect to become the "3-D Internet of the future" if they can't even make the asset server stay up. I'm really dissapointed in the new CEO, M. Linden, too. [very important announcement] is a clear sign that nothing has really changed at Linden Lab.

As a long time resident I predict we will see
(Very Important announcement) will destroy SL and it will die within a year.

WOOT WOOT (Very Important Announcement) Will revolutionize the industry.

Meh (Very important announcemnet). Doesnt affect me who cares.

(Very Important Announcement) might be interesting in 6 months but its gonna screw the grid in the mean time.

90% of party attendees will miss (Very Important Announcement) because they crashed and cant relog do to logins closed for asset server troubles.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

As the recipient of untold 'Very Important Announcements', ranging from corporate missives from CEOs to the flags on company emails received from Marketing, I can assure you:

The actual importance of an announcement is in inverse proportion to the stated importance of the announcement.

That is all.

Lindens don't drop bombs on birthday parties.. they drop them on Friday afternoons via the blog.

Soooo very, very true!

I'm not going to worry about this [very important announcement], until it's announced. Then depending on how stupid it sounds, I'll decide whether or not to panic.

If this[Very Important Announcement](tm) does happen, that's it! I'm outta here. I'm quitting SL [again]. What do they think? Some of us don't have the money to spend every time a [Very Important Announcement](tm) happens.

Ah, don't pay any attention to them, they're just false alarms. You get a lot of them in the Lab..errr um, especially when you're on the right track.

*seemingly analytic, cautious approval of [Very Important Announcement]*
