Every year at this time, it seems, we realize once again that as you get older, you overlook birthdays. Time speeds up, or maybe slows down. Very Proustian.
Thus, it occurred to us only yesterday that that this blog's "birthday" was looming and we almost let it slip by without notice. It hardly seems like seventeen years ago this day that we posted here for the first time.
In law blog years, that's quite a while. Thanks to you, our readers and contributors, we're still here, and still going pretty strong over 4,500 posts and nearly two decades later.
Because doing this in a vacuum would not be worthwhile, we'd like to recognize those who send us items, who make comments, who give us feedback, who gently prod with suggestions, and who simply read and subscribe. You guys make the efforts that go into this thing all worth it. You are why we keep it going: this blog has allowed us to connect with many of you over the years all over the country and even internationally, an opportunity we'd otherwise probably not have had. Many of you have become colleagues, and many of you have become friends.
And though there's a lot of crossover with the above, we'd also like to hail our fellow law bloggers who, like us, make the time to share thoughts about the legal issues of the day. Although you're not quite "Real Men [and Women] of Genius," today we salute you, Mr. and Ms. Law Blog Blogging Bloggers:
