Sounds good, and thanks for the update.

BTW, here's an interesting development:  the WSJ commissions fiction involving WikiLeaks from several thriller writers, all of whom turn in short stories in which WL is the villain.

I should have mentioned that the reason that I thought of bringing you on board is because Erik wants to shake things up at the site and asked me about how we could implement some sort of structural changes, and I figured a new voice would help, too. As per below, he wants to hold off on bringing on anyone else until they've gotten those changes designed and put up, at which point he'd love to have you on. So he'll get back to you probably in the next couple of months.

Barrett,

Forgot to reply to this. That's fine that you brought it up with him. I think for now, until we can hammer out the structural issue, we'll hold off bringing anyone else aboard. Nothing against Barry at all, who I think would be excellent. Once we've worked this out, we'll definitely extend the invitation.

Cheers


Erik

I hope you don't mind, but yesterday I asked Eisler if he would be interested in contributing to the League assuming that you decide that his writings are compatible with what you're going for. He said he would love to do so but absolutely understands if you decide that it's not a good fit. Just let me know if and when you make a decision and I'll let him know in turn, or of course I can give you his e-mail address if you'd like to talk to him yourself.
