I was saddened to learn today that Steve Dillard, known popularly as “Feddie,” has decided to shut down his blog, Southern Appeal. Southern Appeal was the very first blog I ever read, back in 2002. I have been adaily reader – usually many times a day – ever since. I followed the blog from its start as the anonymous efforts of a single law clerk to its present manifestation as a multi-blogger, many faceted production. I will miss reading Southern Appeal, and wish Feddie well. Vaya con Dios, mi amigo.
