It's sad (but typical) that the press focuses on the divorce, but then the only paper that ever tried to print only good news didn't last long.
The other way to look at events is that two people otherwise perhaps less likely than most to find partners found each other through the use of a virtual world.
Unfortunately (or maybe not) they both continued playing in virtual worlds and, presumably by now somewhat more aware of the possibilities, both eventually found better partners. Sadly, one found a better partner before the other though.
Still, the final score as I see it is that they both found better partners the second time around which, in my personal experience at least, is no different to real-life with no help from any virtual worlds.
