I hope you re doing well and Hunter too.<br /><br />Well I knew about both these enterprises, but all the time he has been involved in them he has still kept a connection to Linden Lab and SecondLife. Seeing him off both the management team and the board made me feel like SecondLife had lost it's soul. The driving force that keeps us all together, I never thought that day would ever come and I feel sort of abandoned in a very strange way. I know it sounds overly dramatic but that's just how I feel with no Philip around to look out for me and the rest of you.Bock McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415173698472056079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002765122134131983.post-28305865781618058092013-03-22T12:34:26.264-07:002013-03-22T12:34:26.264-07:00>>>>>>>Gives a big smile to B...>>>>>>>Gives a big smile to Bock and waves.

When M Linden left Philip stepped in as temporary CEO and later - after Rod Humble (a.k.a. Rodvik Linden) was recruited - he became Chairman of the Board.<br /><br />To the best of my recollection I have never seen anything about Philip leaving that position. Curioser and curiouser...

He still owned a large percentage of shares. <br /><br />He must have gotten rid of them when he left. If the company needed new capital, they could have issued more stock, reducing his holdings further. <br /><br />Since LL is not public, we will never know unless someone decides to release the internal financials. They can do whatever they want as a closely held company. <br /><br />I think that Second Life is quite profitable for LL now == and is funding the rest of the expansion into the other businesses. LL is also spending a minimal amount possible to maintain SL in its current status.Eddi Haskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365026406880360184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002765122134131983.post-32609671832812966152013-03-20T19:04:29.334-07:002013-03-20T19:04:29.334-07:00I wonder if he sold his holdings, or reduced them,...I wonder if he sold his holdings, or reduced them, since he is not on the board. I am not surprised, because he seemed to be disenchanted with company direction.
