After what seemed like hours of work, I finally succeeded in getting my Inventory down below the 6,000-items mark. I deleted only a few things outright (mainly T-shirts with profanity across their chests, which is something I don't think I'd enjoy having my avatar wear). Everything else, I put in 1-prim pillars that I'd made from a torus. I like the way they look--rather Ancient Egyptian, with the US stars-and-stripes texture I used, mucked around with as to number of repeats and colors.
(Playing around with such things is so much fun that I'm still avid to get into Second Life each night...I don't allow myself to log on during the day, usually, as if I did I'd get no RL work done!)
Last night appeared the fourth survey question I've seen since registering. (Apparently this is connected with the 5th Birthday.) This one was to do with whether or not I'm the same gender as my avatar (I am). The one previous to this was really irritating: it was "If you don't own land, why not?" What was irritating about that, from the viewpoint of someone trained in research (yes, I have a PhD), is that there was no option to say "I DO own land"...all the options were reasons for NOT owning land.
That sort of thing yields less-valuable results, because there's no way of knowing if someone refrained from clicking a response because, like me, they do already own land, or if they refrained out of boredom or impatience or such. If an "I DO own land" option had been offered, then those who analyze the survey would know that the residents who'd failed to choose an option were actually making the choice to ignore the survey.
Well, it's late in a long day, and I suspect I wasn't completely clear in that explanation.....I'll check it again in the morning!
