An interesting threadjack began this afternoon, and I see no reason not to continue that threadjack in its own post.** Shawn Bailey asked: How did everyone here initially find Times & Seasons or the Bloggernacle in general? <\/p>\n

He volunteered his own history:<\/p>\n

I got an invitation to join the LDS-law list in law school (sent to all law students at BYU, I think), but ignored it. When I went looking for the list as a lawyer, I found T&S within a few weeks of its founding. With one exception,* I had never heard of any of the permabloggers before, but I was immediately hooked.<\/p>\n

*I had helped edit a book review Nate published in the BYU Law Review, and I think his name appeared in the email I received regarding the LDS-law list.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shawn wrote his comment in response to Rosalynde’s remark, which was: “I didn’t know any of the bloggers at all when I began commenting, although I had heard of Jim Faulconer. (I knew one of the commenters, John Fowles, who turned me on to T&S in the first place.)”<\/p>\n

Nate replied to Shawn:<\/p>\n

Shawn: I set the ldslaw list up when I was a 1L at HLS and then emailed every LDS law student that I could find on the internet. I believe that I got one of the librarians at JRLS to get their IT department to send an invitation to every student in the school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems like an interesting question. How did you find T & S? Was it through Nate’s spam-a-thon? Through a real-life discussion with Gordon? Through a google search? Or even through (gasp!) a link from BCC? (Nah, couldn’t be). <\/p>\n

Feel free to take a second and share your story. <\/p>\n

(We’ll then ask Frank to plot them all on a neat graph, and run little analyses on them, and turn those numbers into little Powerpoint presentations so that we can sell the site to Microsoft for millions of dollars).<\/p>\n
