Second Life
I've been following the virtual world called Second Life for some time, so it was a pleasure to read Wade Roush's thoughtful and intelligent cover story ("Second Earth," July/August 2007). The piece benefited greatly from the fact that your writer entered into the life of the community he was trying to understand.

I'm sure you'll receive some splenetic, sarcastic criticism of the piece from someone disgusted by the very idea of a Second Life. Unlike Roush, though, your critic will almost certainly have spent no time in acquiring one.
