David, let’s be real: you consistently delete comments from your posts that you do not want to see.

That aside: welcome, again, Mike – best wishes.

[Editor's note: Of course I delete comments that are off topic, especially when they come from anonymous folks who won't stand behind the shots they take! If you don't like it, as Volokh says, the internet is a big place. And II don't think that a welcome post is the place to criticize the blog.

Here, though, I was referring to a comment by someone who wrote in and asked me to delete something they'd written. In terms of your question, we have invited female permabloggers. The fact we don't have any doesn't mean we didn't invite them. On a few occasions, we gave offers to female bloggers, and we were turned down. We have also discussed the possibility with other female professors of being a permablogger, and they indicated that they weren't interested in a permanent blogging arrangement. -d.h.]
