These people start off with such great feedback, yet they follow-up with all sorts of URLs!

"See you...Thanks, its great to receive such positive comments."

"This is a cool site! Thanks and wish you better luck! Brilliant but simple idea."

("Simple idea?" *sniff*)

"Your site was so interesting and informative I had to call a friend to tell her about it. Great work"

(Now, that one I like.)

I'm not willing to follow any of the links they've included.

Fortunately, Akismet continues to do a great job filtering this stuff out for me.

I received a request today to blog more. What's more, if I took the appropriate implication, I'm supposed to tone down tech content. I thought I had!

All I can say is I'll try. I know it's been slow lately. I've been very focused on the paper I'm doing in Cyberspace Law. I'm knee-deep in Katzian Fourth Amendment, wiretap and electronic surveillance laws, and electronic surveillance technology. I just submitted the first draft of my outline today, though I've already started to rethink some of the organization and, perhaps, the need for one of assertions I thought was so wonderful.

Perhaps I should have asked for more information about the content type that's desired. More "Gilmore Girls"? More riffs on professors? There hasn't been a trespasser recently. There was a very dressed-for-going-out woman who rapped on the lounge door Saturday night, apologized, then ran off in the vicinity of either the Law Review or SBA offices. She came back crawling around the floor, moving and looking under all the furniture. I asked what she was looking for, and she responded, "It's kind of hard to explain." That really piqued my curiosity, but I went back to Westlaw.

I would love to make a good carpetbagger reference here and there, too. However, I do know what a carpetbagger is, and that makes it more difficult to work it into conversation.

How was that?
