redaction action...

a good friend and fellow blogger got called out today for a post he put up about real life folks in the law school. no harm was done. it seems that those involved recognized that all was meant in a good-hearted way. but i gotta tell you, friends, it's all got me re-thinking the two-plus years of posts i've got on this site.

so, i think i'm going to take a couple of days off and figure out what i want to do. here are my options:

1. i could go through over 500 posts and redact all the information that could somehow identify me, but that would involve a serious time commitment and i just can't take on that type of project until the semester is over
2. i could bid throckmorton farewell and resume somewhere else, somewhere none of you will be able to find me
3. i could leave all as-is and go on with things blisfully unaware (or, wilfully blind)
4. i could delete the blog

my initial thoughts...

option 4 is completely out of the question. shut down throckmorton? it's been my online equivalent of a security blanket for a long time. and some of these posts are downright funny.

if i'm really really bored after finals, i could go for option 1, preserving the content but removing the particulars. but that seems so, erm, diluting.

option 2 would of course only be a temporary situation. blogs get discovered. isn't that what's got us here in the first place?

and option 3? i vote option 3 most likely to succeed.
