However, I'd like to point out that mailing lists, where predate the Internet
are still alive and well. :-)

They transcend all of the features/problems of SL, flashy graphics, high
bandwidth and display requirements, real time discussions, etc. For
example, I'm in the middle of this discussion, and I'm 2 hours ahead of
the people in the U.K., 7 head of the east coast of the U.S. and 10
ahead of the ones on the left coast.

I think Walter and I are in the same time zone, along with the person in
South Africa (pardon my forgetting your name).

Geoff.
