Hello,
I'm a writer for The National Law Journal, a newspaper for lawyers. Can
anyone on this list suggest an expert to talk to on this issue: Why did
the lawyers who sent the Green Card advertisement to all Usenet Groups
cause such a ruckus, when other law firms/lawyers engage in more subtle
forms of advertising on the Net. For example, one big law firm has runs a
World Wide Web server. Is it just a question of the WAY the immigration
lawyers advertised, the fact that they generated enough hate mail to crash
their system, etc.? Thank you so much for your help. If possible, could
you reply directly to my personal e-mail address?
