Are you planning to update this article as time goes on? I hope so.

Such a shame, Acker, Ballard, Burroughs all gone.

And here we are 2009 still talking about issues raised in the way back when...

As for SecondLife - isn't this the old LambdaMOO case (Ballardian in itself!) all over again - at least potentially.

Anyway, what you present here is a fine summary, sorry to comment so late - such a great site, always.
