So you have an explanation would like to hear.
Fabio, in all honestly, this is starting to remind me of when you berated and harassed me for not speaking Portuguese with you, when you know that I don't speak it at all, instead of thanking me for trying to use a translator to meet you halfway.
(I know that I am very lucky that English is my native language, and I am very thankful to those from other countries who have worked hard to be able to communicate with me and others in their second, third or even fifth language. I feel that American children should have a much greater opportunity to learn other languages, and more exposure to them, at much younger ages, but like many of us, what I learned in high school and college was too little, too late.)
A lot of the RL world around me celebrates holidays that I do not, with businesses being closed, etc. I am glad that there is a greater move to celebrate Winter, Spring, etc. instead of just any one religion's holidays, but yes, that then does create an issue regarding the fact that the weather varies around the world. There are plenty of places in the Northern Hemisphere that don't ever get snow in Winter. I remember being surprised when I saw roses blooming in December when I lived San Francisco, whereas here, they start blooming around the end of April. I guess what I'm saying is that, while I'm very much in favor if being as inclusive as possible, most of us sometimes have to deal with things that don't fit where we live or who we are.
Speaking of which, does anyone have any clue what the actual percentage of SL users are from the Northern or Southern Hemisphere? According to multiple web sources, 88% - 90% of the world's population live in the Northern Hemisphere, but I don't see stats for SL users.
On the other hand, charts like the one on on the bottom left here (Median user concurrency for the last 365 days):

do make last July look a whole lot better than this June. (And apparently no one logs on at New Years!)
Looking at this... let's just say I'd like to see it trend back up again very soon.
Summer...
