I realize you can go blind from over enthusiastic participation in certain hobbies, but couldn't Scott have kept blogging until he just needed glasses?

Posted by vicki at April 12, 2008 05:52 AMGood luck Scott... thanks for all your hard work!

Posted by Goyo at April 12, 2008 08:48 AMI will really miss Scott Horton. His background made his criticism of the corruption at the Justice Department real to me. I don't thing that the Don Seigelman case would have been as promising without his hard work. I will miss him a lot.
Posted by judy at April 12, 2008 09:01 AMScott Horton will be speaking at the University of Alabama At Huntsville on April 22. I'm looking forward to being there as I have been a fan of his writing for quite some time. Looks like the local progressive movement will insure a great turn-out!
Posted by tommy at April 12, 2008 09:13 AMGoyo--my first thought was, like yours, there goes another great one.
I still miss Bilmon, very much.
I hope Scott Horton will do intermittent blogging...but I recall Bilmon telling his readers that he monitored his comment threads in order to keep them form becoming too contentious or nasty. I had assumed he just had great commenters! Along with his fantastic posts, I have no idea how he kept it up as long as he did, as he did have a day job.
New writers will emerge, but, yes, there are not that many expert bloggers to begin with, and I regret losing Scott Horton.
Posted by jawbone at April 12, 2008 10:57 AMPerhaps, a new blog whereisbillmon.com is in order!!
WHERE IS BILLMON? BILLMON, COME BACK!! WE NEED YOU.
