If you would care to, drop us an email at The SideTrack (thesidetrack AT gamil DOT com) and I'll forward my personal mail on, for idea sharing purposes.<BR/><BR/>Also, looking toward the future, consider blogs like TalkLeft (a very poignant and consistently active blog). Every author there is a currently practicing attorney from a different state, all posting under a pseudonym. <BR/><BR/>I think there is quite a relevant call for the legal insider's perspective on American politics.

I use a pseudonym not because I am precluded from blogging by my career, but simply because I want (and perhaps need) to keep my professional online existence and my personal online existence separate. No doubt it isn't very hard to figure out my name (given that it is plastered all over my early blog) but I still prefer the distinction. Pseudonyms are, of course, nothing new in publishing. Most authors prior to the 20th century used them regularly. The Brontes, for example, all published under them. Some of the greatest political writing of all time was published either anonymously or pseudonymously. One only need to look at the <I>Federalist Papers</I> to see that.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't suggest, however, that you breech ethics and publish that way either.Clint Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534333959460032669noreply@blogger.com
