You meant Joseph, and not Richard (who's the radio program presenter). :-) Second life is owned by Linden Research. Anyone can become a resident in SL, either on free or paid membership. If you wish to purchase something in SL (e.g. hair, clothes, furniture, piece of land, or even an island) from Linden or other residents, you will use your real money (which will go to Linden Research) to buy Linden dollars to do the transactions. And you can convert your Linden dollars back to real money if you so wish. It's a functional economy in there! I can't say I have the full knowledge of SL, but that's as far as I know. Joseph Hi, Prue.
