F*cking Law Firms
"Greedy Associates have rebelled. After administrators of the popular Web message boards imposed new rules cracking down on the use of profanity, vulgarity, and abusive language a group of longtime users launched their own rival site, lawtalkers.com. The site went live March 28 and allows users to "curse to your heart's content" while sharing inside information about law firms and salaries,as well as general opinions on politics, sex, fashion and the like. The split with Greedy Associates, which is owned by West Publishing, wasn't so much because users couldn't bear to discuss firms without swearing. It was more a protest over how the new policies were instituted. 'To have things run a certain
way for a long time, to have no discussion of concerns - which might well have been legitimate - and to simply start filtering out this or that word is, I think problematic," e-mails Legalease - the moniker of the lawyer who put lawtalkers.com together."
That's it. (Any typos are mine).

hehe, that's actually pretty funny. A boston paper did a funny one too. I have an interview tonight with Amlaw.
This is all kind of wild, you know?
Thanks so much for going to the trouble of posting it.
