I am stepping down from my position at the Herald, to spend more time in-world experimenting with things like content-creation, land, events, management, porn-event-management, and government.
I hope you have enjoyed our time together as we interviewed Native American tribesmen, entrepreneurial teens, giant wolves, Lindens, Dionysian artists, alleged stalkers, Nazis and murderous detectives. We wanked about New Games Journalism and Virtual Free Speech and blew the lid on gnome sweatshops and Linden Lab’s controversial secret government plans.
Well, it was really more me than you. You just sat there naked, a lazy asshat, drinking and singing Numa Numa until you passed out in front of your monitor.
And I trusted you.
Thank you to Urizenus Sklar and Walker Spaight for their friendship, support and their contacts within arms-dealing, narco-terrorist organizations. And thank you to all the writers and artists whose work I had the privilege of posting, including Pirate Cotton, Rose Karuna, Gwyneth Llewelyn, Marilyn Murphy, Cienna Samiam and Aimee Weber.

Rock on, Neal. I look forward to the fruits of your diabolical machinations, may you inject SL with some high-octane vodka.
