[MD] Virtually meaningful?

[David M]

Hi Marsha/Ian

Well luckily we are all different, I certainly have no problem
with the value of virtual activity, but of course it will not always
prove valuable, same as anything else, we are never operating
with complete foresight, how boring would that be? Personally
apart from a few discussion forums I have never tried virtual
life. But it's all still life, good and bad.
