i am a big fan of the site ever since my initial visit about a year ago.
this is my first time writing.
the way i found your site was through another blog’s link. what immediately made fdl stand out was the strength of its voice and the quality of the prose. you were pissed about something and were rightfully and eloquently stating your view. the other thing i remember was the depth of knowledge you brought regarding legal procedures and previously hidden aspects of the judicial practice. that’s what i remember more than the focus of the words. sometimes i don’t read entries that are too laden with inside references and nicknames. not because of a lack of knowledge or any kind of disinterest, but because i find it distracting. fdl is at its finest when pointing toward specific truths that reveal why we are all so disgusted. i don’t hate the politicians that are affecting our lives. i hate the way they act. lead through your heart more than through your scars.
yes, i do live in san francisco.
oooh, one last thing.
the images that are chosen to accompany the posts are excellent. these are an added value for the site and provide help for those who are not fully initiated into the dark arts of fdl. these images lend a tone to the post that can be used to decipher the nature of the text. graphic accompaniment and organization within the site could be developed in many different directions. this could also be a way to provide local and commuter service for those not ready to hop on the fast train,
thanks

Each time I learn a new monicker, I feel like I’m more a part of the community. It makes me work and think harder, which in itself is healthy. No effort, no gain. I disagree with the comments that we shouldn’t use them. When I explained “Steno Sue” to my better half, she chuckled. We might as well have a little humor–while dealing with such deadly serious topics. Unlike the rest of the world, when I am here, I don’t feel like I’m in a brain dead world. Well, that’s my 2 cents worth.</p> I’m still figuring out what some of these nicknames mean and find it part of the fun.

No matter how I make the marks to show you how to make italics they get eaten. Type html tags into google or some other search engine. You’ll get an easy lesson on how to make some html tags that work on most sites, including this one.</p> Sorry OhioBlue. No matter how I make the marks to show you how to make italics they get eaten.
