Haha, ok, I both admire and am creeped out by your thoroughness! That was my take on the Metaverse when I first came across it, based on what little I had gleaned at that point. The situation now is, I have gleaned nothing new despite seeing many headlines and references. And I assumed that my initial take - that the Metaverse is a avatar-based chatroom like the kind that have been around for 30 years - is simply too absurd to be on the mark.
