Draftdated Dec 13 2004 - Protocols Over
[From Dec 13 2004 - I just had the link but I think I rememeber what I wanted to say]
It's big news in the Jewish Bloggosphere, Protocols has closed!
In case that announcement means nothing to you I will explain: it means nothing to me too. There's this whole world of Jewish bloggers, growing daily, with a frightening level of cross-referencing and self-congratulations. "Protocols" was considered the mack-daddy of the Jewish Blogs because it had some important people writing for it - people so important that I'd never heard of them nor felt what they had to say was worthwhile.
I can say all this with the supercilious disinterestedness of an Old School blogger - as it says on my first post, I was blogging in the days before blogs, when Netscape ruled, when Google was still an experimental site at Stanford U, when email was still called e-mail. I don't actually expect anyone to read what I'm saying either (although I appreciate your comments) - I just need a place to release my brainwaves before they begin to rot in my skull.
Protocols is (are?) over. Long live the Blog.

Thursday, February 17, 2005 3:09:00 PMI was so unaware of Protocols' demise that I even emailed one of the Elders to have my listing there updated...after the demise. So you're not alone. Just remember: we are the cool ones!
