Gratuitous Legal Geekery Posting
You'd think that this would be a reasonable way to cite a blog post in a legal document:
However, according to Rule 18.2.4 of the Blue Book 18th Ed., this is how it's supposed to go:
Conglomerate, http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/38673/16864726 (March 13, 2007 22:00 CST)
(I made up the time, btw.)
It's pretty evident that whoever made up this rule doesn't have a clue about how blogs work or what information is relevant in citation. It's probably a generational thing - I've had some very confusing discovery issues with more than one older opposing counsel who had trouble wrapping his brain around what you might call Web-speak.
Yips! to Ann Althouse, Instapundit, http://instapundit.com/archives2/003345.php (March 15, 2007). (The Bluebook be damned!)
