In tomorrow's NY Times Magazine, Michael Lewis, the guy who tried to excuse Jonathan Lebed's scams as merely the hijinks of some kid emulating adults, is at it again. This time he finds it quaint that the #1 rated contributor on askme.com's legal message boards is not a lawyer at all, but rather a 15 year old kid who essentially just wings it. Oh sure the legitimate lawyers who post there are all aghast that desperate people who don't know any better are being shoveled bogus legal advice. But, according to Lewis, who really cares as long as people seem genuinely happy with what they get? You know, what people don't know won't hurt them. Give me a break. In any case, what makes it also relevant here is that Lewis does devote space to Lebed in it in several places. - Jeff
