Dear Prof. Yabut:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
I know you’re retired and would rather be napping, but I really need advice.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
Evan Schaeffer<\/FONT><\/A> has been very busy lately (and he seems to specialize <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
in advising young associates who have very little common sense), so I<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
hope you’ll help a gender-neutral person in distress.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

I’m a law student at UCLA and my problem involves a professor who is really<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
a big shot on campus and in the blogosphere, <\/FONT>Eugene Volokh<\/FONT><\/A>.  I’m a very big<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
fan of his, and plan to take all of his courses, so I need help being diplomatic.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
You see, Prof. V. made a big<\/EM> mistake at his weblog, the <\/FONT>Volokh Conspiracy<\/FONT><\/EM><\/A>,<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>

\n
the other hand, I don’t want to be anonymous, since I’d like to get credit for my <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
knowledge, research and initiative.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
\n
The mistake showed up in the <\/FONT>following posting<\/FONT><\/A> (March 14, 2005):<\/FONT><\/DIV>
