Hi all,

I wanted to post an explanation and our apologies to everyone about what happened with the email yesterday.

Short version here:
-We created an email list to announce the website
-We incorrectly set the administrator priviledges
-One person responded around 9:00pm PST, exposing the problem to everyone
-about 11 emails were sent between 9:00 and 10:45pm PST
-we fixed it at 10:45

This error was caused by our eagerness to announce the site, and by administrative oversight (which is a nice way of saying, we were in a hurry, and messed up in our haste).

For the record, no email names were exposed other than those who directly responded to the automailer.

Linden Lab is very serious about our residents privacy, please see our privacy policy for more details.

If you wish to have your name removed from our "residents" email list, please email me directly at [email]peter@lindenlab.com[/email]

Many apologies, best wishes,

-Linden Lab
