Welcome Everybody…

Howdy. I’m Jeremy… Welcome to my site… All forty freaking thousand of you (in the last 24 hours).

I’m debating whether I should release the posts I removed. What do folk think?

Tough question. A lot of us have already seen your posts and have them stored in aggregators. There’s also been a pretty wide coverage of what happened to you around the media, so…… why not? It probably won’t make your future dealings with US customs any more difficult than they’ve been so far (but they won’t make ‘em any easier, I suppose).

*looks at feet*

Errmmmm…that may have been my fault. I posted the URL to your blog in my blog.

Oops, no way….sorry. Wasn’t all me. I only have thirty freakin thousand readers…

*grins*

Yes, yes….release the posts! Free the posts!!!!

I would be interested in reading them.

I think it would be in the best interests of the United States if you did restore them, not to blow this out of proportion, but it is better if these kinds of incidents are reported.

Jeremy,

I think you should re-post what happened to you. It’s shameful what they did to you and might serve as a catalyst for others to make sure they have more “proof” of being a pro blogger if they try to enter the U.S.

Just go to BlogLines and read the posts… It’s not hard to figure out :)

Transparency, Jeremy. What do they have to fear? Or you?

However…

Now that some time has passed, and this story has flown around the globe, why not consider a precis or summary of those original posts as part of a new post that focuses more on the point Tod makes in his comment, ie, talking about the rise of new professions (blogging), how you can get to know people and set up business deals all without meeting those people, etc. The new way of working.

You have another example to look at – Jason Kottke. While he’s not been through what you have, he’s a full-time professional blogger trying to earn a living at it.

It would be a good focus for you for InsideBlogging.

Tough question, though considering all the media coverage your stories have received, I guess there’s no harm in releasing those posts now.

As Alice said, It’s also good that these kind of incidents are reported.

Free the posts! :-)

dunno dude,

might not be a good idea; sometimes, it’s just easier to lay down and take it and then move on (or in your case, to just bend over and take it). I agree with Apo, You don’t want to make things any more difficult then they have to be next time, right?

2 cents worth of advice. Dont release. let the dust settle. Remember — you like bread on the table correct ??
