"Adam Smith, Esq." has been invited to join American
Lawyer Media’s "Legal
Blog Network," and I have accepted. The other
half-dozen-plus members of the network are all people I know
personally or through email and the quality of their blogs is
of the highest order; I consider myself in distinguished company.
That said, I made this decision after a fair amount of deliberation
and after seeking counsel and advice from fellow members of the
network, whose general consensus was that the benefit of increased
visibility in cyberspace at large outweighed the aesthetic objectionability
of that honking big garish ad to your right. (Sorry, ALM,
but when you’re dealing with bloggers we’re going to call a spade
a spade—and
if you ever animate the ad, all bets are off.)
If any readers feel strongly about this change one way or the
other, please let me know.
