I like your Daedalus article very much! (I found the Spring 2002 issue of Daedalus brilliant as a whole)
Looking forward to reading you next week,

Judge Posner,
I am thrilled that you are guest-blogging here next week, and eagerly await your posts. I'm working my way through your book The Economic Structure of Intellectual Property Law right now, and although my background in economics is somewhat insufficient for complete comprehension, I am enjoying it very much. How you manage to wear so many professional and intellectual hats continues to surprise me.
Feel really excited!
I suspected that in the next 20 years most academia would have at least one blog.
A professor must have a blog, for students thus have a way to reach his/her random thoughts. A public intellectual must have a blog, for the blog make him/her public. In this light, Habermas does not qualify himself as a public intellectual, because he does not have a blog :-)

Judge Posner,
I too am very excited to hear your posts. One quick question:
After marvelling at your long list of achievments including everything from academia to Presedential task forces to serving as Chief Judge on the Court of Appeals, I wonder: What position or appointment did you find the most personally rewarding?

Dear Judge Posner:
I read your opinion, Wassell v. Adams 865 F.2d 849 (7th Cir. 1989), in law school. I just wanted to let you know that, for a man of your obvious intellect, it is a digrace that I hope you've come to regret. Why pollute your opinion with such bigotry and elitism?
I read Wassell v. Adams because of ramz's post, and found it interesting and well-written, but unexceptional otherwise. Might ramz share why he or she finds it "bigoted"?
Dear Ted:
What relevance, if any, does race have in deciding how to award damages (on appeal, no less) in a negligence lawsuit? Note how Judge Posner seemingly goes out of his way to describe the victim/plaintiff as a poor "white" woman and the perpetrator, as a "black" man. Why?
