I still say it:

Standard argument: Don't believe the hype. SL is still smaller than my 
little city.

Economic argument: As long as we don't have a reliable chat server and 
less than ten people in the forums or using the online participation 
functions, setting up shop in SL would be a huge waste of time and energy.

Political Argument I: SL is excluding more than including. Even I can't 
run it on my laptop's graphics chip. (less than 3 years old)

Political Argument II: If we move too far into cyberland, the governments 
won't follow us. To a lot of them, the whole IGF process was already way 
too fast and too CS-driven.

My 5 cents.

Ralf
