Greetings, Overlawyered readers. My name is Warren Meyer, and Walter, who generally strikes me as a sane and stable person, has had some odd lapse in judgement and asked that I come in and guest blog this week. After blogging on my own site for a little over a year now, I feel like a long-time minor leaguer finally stepping up to the plate in the majors for his first at-bat.
I am particularly pleased to be here, since Overlawyered has the distinction of being the first blog I ever regularly read, long before I even knew what a blog was. As a small business owner, I often found myself asking, “am I crazy?” Ted and Walter, via the stories they write about outrageous litigation in Overlawyered, help give me some comfort that no, maybe its the rest of the world that’s gone nuts.
My regular home is at Coyote Blog, where I stray off-topic far more than Ted and Walter, but I generally focus on issues related to business, government, and libertarian philosophy. I appreciate Walter’s lending me the keys to his blog for this week, and I will try to keep it between the lines better than I do at my own site.
