I certainly hope that you find your new position with a for profit 
corporation as stimulating and useful to society as the position that 
you are leaving -- the for-profit world is very different from the 
academic (except perhaps for that of the Rubbia-like worlds in nominally 
academic fields).

One small question:  is there anyone else who knows the same material 
with respect to SL that you do?  That is, with you totally divorcing 
yourself from SL, have you built in programmer job security that will 
take a large amount of effort on the part of the remaining SL support 
team to re-invent?

Best wishes on your new career.
