Linden Land Sales

Now that a couple months has past since the 1.9.0 upgrade and changes in policies towards abandoned land, I have some questions which I would like answered.

1- Linden Lab claimed abandoned land would sit in limbo for a mandatory2 week period, in order to allow appeals to be made for returning the land. My question is: How does the dialog confirmation differ from that of regular land sales? I accidentally purchased a 16m plot for 16,000 Lindens and your company had absolutely no sympathy for me. Abandoning land follows the same dialog confirmation processes.

2- How can Linden Lab justify claiming abandoned land at no cost and reselling it at 3.0/sq m.? Why did Andrew Linden reneg on his committment to the community, that abandoned land would be sold on the land sales list at 1.0/sq? Likewise 512 plots were to be earmarked for First Land, yet they have appeared on the land sales list.

3- I have several plots landmarked, which have been sitting within the Governor's tier since this was implimented, far longer than the promised 2 week period. My question is: How can LL justify holding land in tier where residents used to hold within paid tier?

4- Linden Lab, as a company promoting business within the world has put alot of people out of work over this issue. Andrew Linden purported that LL staff spent "a great deal of time" resolving abandoned land issues. My question is: Has LL staff spent a great deal of time working around this issue and does LL staff continue to require extensive manpower to manage abandoned land by a greater or lesser degree than under the previous policy?

5- The SL economy is dependant upon a stable environment, where confidence in the Linden dollar and business security are paramount. Buying and selling land though wholsale to retail markets provides economic stimulii. Sitting on land within LL tier does not encourage growth, sales or profits for residents. Does Linden Lab take the position, that eliminating abandoned land resellers in favor of "in house auctions and sales" benefits residents moreso than a resident managed policy? Afterall, Philip has claimed time and time again, that issues are often better manged by residents.

My questions were ignored yesterday, so I will ask them again today.
