"I was just genuinely surprised that the man charged with leading SL into the future wouldn't be aware of some of the major initiatives of the past and why they were withdrawn if they indeed failed, so that we aren't doomed to repeat the same mistakes."
KR, you raise a fair point, albeit bluntly at first, which actually deserves it's own post. The bottom line: Many Residents know more about SL's history than Linden Lab's current staff does. Because most of that staff wasn't even staff 2-3 years ago.
