Hi, thanks for the link. Nice to find your blog, too. I’ll add it to my blogroll. I’m always looking for good blogs on these topics.

Dear Sir,
Given your interest in Second Life, you may find this conference at Bangor University of interest: http://nieci.bangor.ac.uk/conf/?q=callforpapers/3. You could probably propose a paper that builds upon one of your insightful posts.
Yours truly,
Ortho
