Representative Scalzi reader here with some answers to frequently asked questions (at least in this comment thread):

1) Mentioning your name at the top of the post doesn't come across as horn-blowing. In fact, I typically assume you're doing it because Patrick asked you to.

2) I don't mind at all scrolling to the bottom for a second to find out who's writing if I'm really that interested.

3) Re: being recognizable by your voices: I can typically pick out John's writing and Jeff's writing. John's because I read so much of his stuff, and Jeff's because I know him (and read a lot of his stuff). Everyone else blends in. So my guess is, no - most people don't know who's writing just by the tone.

4) RSS: It's cool, but most of the blogs I read have new posts almost every day (Whatever, Instapundit, Buzz Machine), so RSS doesn't really save any time. I'm still looking for the equivalent tool for comment threads. For instance, if someone responds to this comment, I'd like a tool that tells me to return to it & read what people had to say. That's typically more important to me than whether there's a new post or not.

OK, I'm certainly no lawyer and I haven't read the decisions either, but isn't the point of all of this to prevent the courts from issuing rulings that are based on religious tenets?

Has anyone proven that displaying religious documents in (or near) the courthouse has any effect whatsoever on the courts rulings? And if, as I suspect, the answer to that question is "No," then why are we all assuming it as fact?

How about we focus on the fairness of our judges opinions, rather than worrying about the decor in the courthouse?
