Happy birthday to my friends at Disputing! Here’s to many more years of quality blogging!
Karl and Victoria,
What an excellent and timely source of information for those helping others resolve disputes — from parties to their advocates to neutrals. You report current events, host insightful commentary, and encourage diverse opinions.
Even though your own search engine ratings were high, you also helped drive what has become one of the best discussion groups in the field — for free on LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/groups.....=hb_side_g.
For all you do for the industry, thank you and happy birthday.
Don
Karl and Victoria,
Happy Birthday to a great ADR blog!
The two of you have made an enormously valuable contribution to the ADR blogosphere, and continue to produce a steady stream of timely, interesting, thoughtful, and well-written posts. And you have a very impressive following, as well (present company excluded!).
As Don mentions, as co-founder of the LinkedIn Commercial and Industry Arbitration and Mediation Group, Disputing has provided an excellent forum to the ADR community for the discussion of issues pertinent to the field. That group continues to grow, and the discussions keep flowing, even in the dog days of summer!
Keep up the great work!
Phil
