I’ve read some wonderful posts and comments recently on this topic (see below). It makes for a thought provoking and imaginative discussion. I belong to a few groups on Flickr who do not allow any SL screenshots and I’ve listened to some angry diatribes as to how SL photographers have taken over Flickr groups.
