I thought this would be a good opportunity to mention that the one of the organizers of this WoW Science conference - William Sims Bainbridge - wrote about "The Rights of Avatars". In this photo-essay, Bainbridge also discusses his various WoW ALTs and the conference itself... http://www.terasemjournals.org/pc0302/wb1.html There are more readings of his available on the Terasem Journals website so he is definitely worth reading about. I will likely be referencing Bainbridge when replying to the post about avatar identity :-) I really wish I had the time to grind for this Science conference but alas, I can only vicariously experience this most historic of events. FOR THE HORDE! Sigilbringer/Jeremy Hail Augmentologists!

approaches poetry, approaches the sort of talking that children do when they don’t pay attention to each other but just talk, is filled with mirth and puns and is purely accidental.
