The office has gotten a copy of the 18th edition Bluebook — which I had previewed. I immediately checked out Rule 18, on internet citations, which has been re-written. I must say I was surprised to find my reading of Drew Curtis’ Fark.com to intersect with my legal education in such a direct way.

Rule 18.2.4 E-mail Correspondence and Online Postings includes this:

Postings to discussion forums should also follow a similar format [to listserv’s and email], but should include the URL and should not include the author’s email address.

I’ve added the HTML so that you can follow the link, but would be just plain text. I’ll have to digest the rest of the changes to Rule 18 some other time.
